Why Villa's connections give Emery the edge in Champions League race

There was a moment during the press conference after Aston Villa’s 4-1 home defeat to Chelsea earlier this month when Unai Emery became unusually animated. “Always our structure was our way to perform and our way to get success,” he pointed out.

When he paused for effect, one reporter attempted to move the conversation on by asking another question. But Emery was not done yet. "We are not here with one player who is always winning matches himself," he continued. "We need our structure."
