Emmery played Slott’s “Villa” in the Champions League, and “Liverpool” in a crisis situation!
The tactical duel at Anfield ended with a confident victory for the Birmingham team. Ollie Watkins punished the “red” team’s positional mistakes twice, while John McGinn scored an impressive goal from far away. Virgil van Dijk’s double was merely a statistical achievement. “Liverpool” couldn’t withstand the intensity of the visitors, and Arne Slott didn’t find any countermeasures.
Now, the Dutch coach faces a tough battle for European competitions. The fifth place, which guarantees participation in the Champions League, is at stake against “Borneom” and “Brighton”. Emmery, however, has fulfilled his main task this season: ensuring that the club makes it to the top European tournament for the first time in its history.
