Former famous defender Martin Keown says Unai Emery, Aston Villa’s boss, was the factor that prevented Arsenal from winning the English Premier League in the season that just ended.
“The Gunners” were disappointed as runners-up again after finishing with 2 points behind Manchester City, the championship team, which Keown thought that meeting with Emery, the former manager who controlled Aston Villa, would defeat the team. Promotion ufabet Having both home and away this season is an important factor causing the team to miss the championship.
“They (City) are in great form, Arsenal is a club that is improving,” Keown told UFABET. “You have to fight Man City, if Arsenal draw. And without losing to Villa they can become champions, so they will go there to collect those necessary points. Because they knew that if they lost it would be to get rid of Arsenal, which City did again.”
“I think the reason Arsenal didn’t win the league was because of Unai Emery, he cut 6 points from Arsenal, I say that because I really feel. that they were great against their old teams They ran like crazy to beat Arsenal and did it, they stopped Arsenal from winning the league.”
“It’s funny because I’ve played for two great teams and Villa were amazing, they started the season conceding five goals and ended it conceding five and they finished in the top four.
“But at the level that City have set, it’s the standard and I think Arsenal are catching up quickly. If I were an Arsenal player right now, you would walk away, think about it, use it as oxygen, get out of the ashes and come back and fight until you win the title.”
