Unai Emery has revealed he wants positive energy ahead of the big game against arch rivals Manchester United.
The Gunners suffered a humiliating defeat to Rennes in Europa league on Thursday and Emery has called for an improvement not only in performance but also in effort and energy and vibe around The Emirates.
‘We know they are doing very well. The most important thing is our capacity to react after Thursday,’ the Spaniard said. ‘First, it will be mostly our supporters and stadium, creating together one big atmosphere. ‘And then it’s about using our quality and our combinations with the players tactically to play well in the match against Manchester United.’
‘On Friday morning, I was speaking with some players — I want them to help me with big positive energy,’ Emery said. ‘One player was worse than me, more down than me, and I said to him, “Let’s speak tomorrow as you are more sad than me”. ‘I want to listen to players with positive energy. I want to hear them say, “We can do it in the next game”.’
The game is due to kick off later today.
