Unai Emery • Europa League Final 2016 Tactics, Liverpool 1 Sevilla 3 • Masterclass

Unai Emery made history by winning three consecutive Europa League titles in his three-year spell with Sevilla, who under Julen Lopetegui reached yet another final in 2019/20.

In this exclusive Masterclass with The Coaches’ Voice, Emery revisits the third of those three successive finals, when his side came from behind to defeat a Liverpool team in their first season under Jürgen Klopp.

Emery, who is now in charge at Villareal after spells with Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal, explains how the two teams set up in identical 4-2-3-1 formations, with the influential Éver Banega in the number 10 position and Mariano and Coke a potentially dangerous combination down the right flank. He goes on to reveal how he reacted to Liverpool taking a first-half lead, and what changed in a second-half comeback that ultimately led to a third straight win in the competition for Sevilla.

I like how civilized this comment section is

[leeevans]

Watched this so I could watch Unai speak tactical in his own language, his English has improved massively but getting his thoughts fluidly in Spanish is far better . As a villa fan im so bloody happy this guys come to build Villa squad and coach them . Villa has been waiting for someone that understands football from the roots up to elite level. UtV

A masterclass interview with Hansi Flick would be great

Who's here when this man did it again, absolutely insane how consistent he is.

[Ingenuity]

One of the greatest managers of all time and doesnt get enough credit.

The reason he failed with Arsenal was primarily the language barrier. On the fox podcast they said the players were mocking him, made fun of the way he spoke and never respected him. What he said never got through to the players. I always felt he was under appreciated and never had a true chance, I mean the man got trophies. I think its the ego's of the English, especially the ebening, which is proof of them mocking his spanish accent. I found it weird what ever Emery did he had troubles, but when Arteta did the same thing he don't get heat, such as not playing Ozil. The squad was soo bad, he had to keep to changing the squad to see what works. The English really think this is a good squad, which is funny. When he got sacked a lot of managers were backing Emery saying its their defense. There was a game where Kolasinac did not head the ball out when the ball was heading into the goal, under Arteta, even nbc analyst said they have bad defenders. From 5th place to 8th place. They wanted to win now with Emery, but now they are patient with Arteta waiting to be on top in the next three years. Emery got played and I hope he does his best with Villarreal

3:15 - That skill not to knock the other circles was actually beautiful.

[chelseavideos]

Brilliant manager. Don’t care what anybody says.

[maxxx]

I can listen to this man speaking for hours even if I don't understand Spanish

As a Liverpool fan I was really surprised by what happened to him at Arsenal...Sevilla were such a well-organized team. Goes to show there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes, not just tactics.

[AyoItsJojo]

He’s done it again, one of the best manager in the world

[Lioness_UTV]

One game in and us Villa fans are already infatuated with him. He commands enormous respect for not only his past record but also because he is clearly dedicated and a student of the game and more importantly he is a decent human being.

In Unai we trust 💙 💜

Up the Villa 🦁

[matthewbourne]

Great insight into this game, remember watching this game 4 years ago and was shocked at how sevilla had turned the game around so quickly!

[deathdragonslayer]

Fascinating to listen unai talk about banega's role in this final and one can understand why he wanted him at arsenal.

[sicariofrank]

He’s brilliant when the players are able to adapt to his style of play. Anyway Good Ebening!

Interesting fact about this match, Mamadou Sakho was wrongly banned from playing in that match after being falsely accused of doping. UEFA apologised for it but the damage was done. I wonder how different things would've been.

Finally.... The Europa league master is here

As LFC fan I respect Emery, he's much better than he gets credit for.
But look at Klopps team in the final, it was amazing to even get to the final with that team.
Klopp was at the start of rebuild and Sevilla was at the peak, that was their 3rd EL trophy in a row and if LFC scored 2nd goal in first half, they would win that game.
That LFC defence was dead.

Don't care if it didn't work out at Arsenal, I'll always be glad you had the guts to take over right after Wenger. Maybe Sanhelli got this one wrong potentially.

here after he beat us (Man United). He's really good
