Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglu on the challenges of facing Aston Villa and their manager Unai Emery in the Premier League Tottenham Training Centre, London, UK

00:00On Aston Villa then, they've gone from almost missing, relegated, to Champions League football in really such a short period of time.

00:08Just how good an appointment was Unai Emery?

00:11Yeah, great appointment.

00:15But, you know, it shouldn't surprise anyone. He was an outstanding manager before he got there, you know.

00:20He'd done an outstanding job and probably another sort of cautionary tale about writing people off

00:26because when he was at Arsenal, you know, people were quick to be dismissive of him.

00:30Whilst other people's memories faded, I think when you're a manager and you see other managers going through what he did,

00:36it's firmly imprinted in your mind and it just goes to show you, like I said,

00:41he was an outstanding manager before he got to Villa.

00:43I think they identified somebody who could come in and, you know, really bring their football club to the levels they want to

00:51and he's done that since he's been there.

00:54They continue to get stronger and challenging will be a good test for us.

01:01I mean, our games against them have been really good last year.

01:04We obviously won at their place and played really well.

01:07I thought we played well at our place too, but they got on top of us.

01:12They obviously got ahead of us for the Champions League spot last year.

01:15So, it's a great competition for us.
