 Afternoon Andoni. Three wins in four Premier League games. From the outside it certainly looks like a corner has been turned. Some really positive results recently. What have you done to turn things around? I think you cannot focus just in one thing. I think overall we are happy with the performances we've had the last games but we have to continue pushing because we have now Aston Villa. We have a tough week ahead of us. Three very difficult games to away and the one we have at home is against Villa that right now we're there in a really good moment. So we have to continue improving our level because I think we will be demanded this next week yes. Have you done anything different on the training pitch? Is it just taken a bit longer than perhaps expected for the players to understand what you want from them? Is there any reason why you think it's turned? No, probably there's not one single reason. It's a little bit of everything about a schedule, better form from individuals, better understanding of the things we're trying to do. I think during the season we will have good runs, bad runs. We have to know where we want to go, how we want to play, improve individually, collectively. We still have a lot of things to improve. We are going to be demanded this week and I think we have to be ready because the only way is to keep improving because the competition demands these things and is what we need to achieve. For you personally have you had to adapt? Have you changed things? Have you learned obviously week in week out from being in the Premier League, working here and learning about this environment? Have you changed things yourself personally? No, obviously you understand better the players, the longer you have them, the combination of the players, the understanding between themselves, the spots where we can exploit better their abilities, but at the end this is a matter of preparing every week the best way possible, like we have tried this week against Villa and I think the players are improving also individually so it makes my job easier. You've touched upon Villa, they're having an incredible season, currently fourth in the Premier League, they've won seven of their last nine top-flight matches. When they've played in the Europa Conference League they've done really well, they're top of Group P, every time they play in the Premier League the week after they won four of six. How do you come up with a game plan to beat them? The stats are amazing, they are fighting for almost for everything I would say, they are fourth in the league to point from the top of the league, they are a very efficient team, everyone knows what he has to do, they are very dangerous in transitions, very dangerous players up front and they are all really committed to what they are doing so we have to take transitions, set pieces, they are very good offensively especially and we'll have duels that they are not going to be easy for sure because they are a top level team but I think we are also in a good moment, we have to try to give our best and if we give our best I think we are also uncomfortable for them. Just a quick word on Unai Emery, fellow Basque manager, someone I presume you have a connection with, loosely growing up and being from the same area, what do you remember about him, how much of you sort of tracked his progress and his coaching style and that connection that you've had for some time? For me Unai is one of the best coaches overall in the world, I think he has been really successful in very different teams, different exigencies, different environments, different countries and that's the reason why he's having the results in Villano, I think he prepares very well the games. We have to be ready for a single small detail, throw in every because otherwise it's going to be tough because his teams are always prepared. What's your earliest memory of him, do you go way back? Now I've played as a player I would say more when he was coaching in different Almeria, Valencia, Sevilla, a lot of times against him as a coach less but also we've played against and I say it a lot here in the Premier League you have to face the best players, the best coaches and obviously we'll face them in two days. And just some warm-up team news, Lloyd Kelly came off last week, I know there's doubts over Max Aaron's and long-term injuries as well, could you just update us on the current state of the treatment room? Lloyd Kelly is injured, he has a muscle injury so he will be out for some weeks and the rest will be I hope the same than against the Sheffield, we still have tomorrow's training but if nothing happens tomorrow that will be the squad. And finally for me just one quick word on Don Solanke who's having his best ever Premier League season, six goals in the Premier League, one in the cup which equals his best ever tally in a whole season. He's clearly playing his best football under you and enjoying his football, what are you doing to get the best out of him and if he continues to play in this way how big a challenge will the club have in January when teams start looking at his goal scoring record and his ability and they think well he's the striker we need, the club will have to try and keep on to hold him. We talked about this past week I think he's very complete as a striker he can adapt to different situations it's not that sometimes they're number nine that you have to we have to play this way to play for his strengths no I think he's really adaptable he's very complete and it's good the other day also we scored three we had a lot of the chances he had chances he didn't score but it's good that more players get involved in in in the scoring side let's say but he has to continue doing the things he's doing trying to improve things also that like all the other players he can he can improve but I think he's he's been very very good from the start of the season thank you how big a blow is that Lloyd Kelly news is bad news obviously because he has been performing really well from the beginning has been playing center back very well has been playing outside very well it's very very good defender and obviously you never want no your best players to get this kind of injuries but it's happening to all the teams and we have to get ready to be to be also solid without him we have very good alternatives I think so I think the same way that has happened with other players and we have kept competing we have to do the same without late did you say it's a massive injury are we looking at months what no it's a muscle injury muscle injury probably pronunciation was not the best but it was muscle injury hamstring injury I don't know I don't know I don't know the weeks but it's gonna be weeks and weeks not it's the timing is not good because now we are playing a lot of games in December key games for us but the normal injuries come in the worst time and that's what happened now with Lloyd you've heard you've got Max Aaron's out as well you've had a lot of injuries in the in the back line but Ilya Zabani has been a constant I think he's played every minute under you so far as such a young man how impressed have you been with him what what are his best traits I think Sava is really young sometimes he's mature for his age it looks like he's always with his composure you know but we have to realize he's really young and he's not easy for a 2021 year old player to be starting every week in the Premier League against top opposition and I think he has gone improving through the season I think he's now in a in a good moment defensively and we hope you know we can continue you know this this this this performance with him and at the other end of the pitch obviously Justin Klyver scored his first Premier League goal last weekend have you seen an extra spring in his step this week no I think he was performing really well last games he scored against Liverpool also in the cup it's not a new position for him but until the last couple of weeks he was performing more from the left side he can be also a threat from the number 10 position sometimes we will need a number 10 probably more like a midfielder to to cover more the midfield to play for the second balls but it's also that as a forward he he has the discipline to do the little things that are demanded for a for a number 10 and he's helping us a lot from there yeah as far as you're concerned I saw that you have a 100% record as a manager against Villarreal with Miranda's and Rio except when Unai Emery was the manager and then it dropped to zero how pleased were you when he left La Liga I consider him I told it before one of the best managers I think he has been very good in a lot of different teams that it gives even more more more value in different divisions with promotions with and that's the reason why he's not like he has had he's been lucky once or the players no no he has showed it in different countries different divisions and it's it's it's it's not gonna be easy for sure on Sunday I know that they will be well prepared but I think if we give our best level also we can make them a tough game because right now we have good threats upfront team is playing well and if we push I think we we can make also their game and comfortable his record in Europe especially is spectacular but over in England his reputation is still suffers a bit because it didn't work out for him at Arsenal but you know should we be thinking of him in the same bracket as a Pep Guardiola for example it's difficult for me not to establish the tires and it's difficult to compare managers they have different goals you know is but I can only talk that I say that he for me he's very very good and he's showing it in different scenarios and I wouldn't like to establish the comparisons because we are talking about probably the best managers right now no in the world or one of the best but we have to be ready we have to be ready because it this is are the demands of the competition because the same way players will face I don't know the AB or Watkins or whoever we all have to be prepared
