_UNAI EMERY ADMITS STARTING MATTY CASH WAS A MISTAKE IN ASTON VILLA’S WIN OVER BRENTFORD_
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has made a surprising admission, revealing that he regrets starting Matty Cash in the team’s 1-0 win over Brentford.
Despite the victory, Emery expressed his disappointment with Cash’s performance, stating that the right-back did not meet his expectations.
“Honestly, I think I made a mistake starting Matty Cash,” Emery said in a post-match interview. “He didn’t play at the level I demanded, and it affected the team’s overall performance.”
Emery’s comments may come as a surprise to some, given that Villa secured a hard-fought win over Brentford. However, the Spanish manager is known for his high standards and attention to detail.
The admission is also a testament to Emery’s willingness to take responsibility for his decisions and make tough calls when necessary.
It remains to be seen whether Cash will retain his place in the starting lineup for Villa’s next match. One thing is certain, however: Emery will be expecting a significant improvement from his right-back if he is to remain a key player for the team.
The win over Brentford was a crucial one for Villa, and Emery will be hoping that his team can build on the momentum in their upcoming fixtures.
