“My first season here, we passed something similar, fighting the landing. The crowd can be really difficult here. I must try to prevent them – it’s part of football.”

The England striker Oli Watskins had a penalty kick in the second half that was rescued in Villa, which was now defeated in seven European matches against its fans.

“The president always talks about getting behind us,” said Konsa. “When things do not go well, it is important for fans to stay with us.

“You can sometimes see that they are slightly frustrated by some of our players. We must be able to deal with it.

“I try to remain as positive as possible. We passed last season, but at that point we were expanding the goals.

“I felt a little different. Now we are not a lot, it’s a little low.”

European League “Special” for Aston Villa

The third Villa of the Premier League, is a villa next at home to Fulham, the center in seventh place on Sunday (14:00 amput / 09:00 et / 06:00 pt).

“We started mixing a little [over] “Many things, but I am now happy because the supporters were here,” Emery said.

“The stadium was somewhat full, which is very important. They have to push us. Europe is special and they were with us.

“We hope that we can collect energy together again – the players, the club, the supporters – to build something special this season. We are trying to be responsible for giving them hard work and success.”

Unai Emery “Don’t buy” the confidence of the villa

Santiago Castro is almost tied when Ricardo Orasolini, who scored the Bologna winner in the 99th minute with a penalty at home with Genoa in Serie A on Saturday, to the attacker to go against the crossbar.

“Trust is something that we must build in training and in Villa Park, when we meet at the hotel – it’s something that you don’t buy in the store,” Emery suggested.

“You have to create it together and build it. Winning, we can feel better. This is the first step forward.

“We have to try to be stronger, win, play with our identity and be together.”
