TA: Emery often convenes the entire team to meet before the game + more than 2 hours. After losing to Bruce, he gets angry.

Villa failed to win six games in each tournament, ranking only 18th in the Premier League. TA wrote an article about Emery, revealing some of the coach’s past experiences and his personality traits.

Emery recently broke the rules and pointed out that the players were "lazy" at public press conferences. Despite the risk of this approach, sources close to the team revealed that even the players privately acknowledged the criticism as "fair." This also reveals his communication style: he doesn't talk much on weekdays and is used to digesting his emotions by himself, but criticism at critical moments hits the nail on the head. It was revealed that Emery got angry in the locker room after losing 0-1 away to Bruce last season in the Champions League.

Emery is known for his extreme work intensity. He works very long, and the entire coach and staff team must follow his pace and leave early and late. Players have to deal with extremely long training, rare rest days, and analysis meetings with as many as four pre-match and a total duration of more than two hours. This high requirement even extends to pre-season preparation, with extremely high training volume and game intensity, which makes players physically and mentally exhausted.

Within the club, Emery's power is very solid. In the storm of the departure of sports director Monkey, the club owner chose to trust Emery and planned to give him leadership like Wenger and Ferguson. Monchi was replaced by an old acquaintance Olabe, who had a thirty-year relationship with Emery, which meant that Villa's power structure would continue to be centered on Emery, and all key football decisions were under his control. An industry insider bluntly said: "Emery must be happy."

Emery's high strength and high requirements are double-sided blades. It has led Villa to great success, convinced and respected the players; but it also puts the team on the brink of physical and mental consumption for a long time, and the power structure he has built around himself is being tested in this turmoil.
