Regarding the future, Emery insisted on continuing to improve and opt for everything. “Fighting every year for the top 4 and top 5 is very difficult. I hope we can be closer to Arsenal, Manchester City. At the beginning of the season we were not candidates to be in the top 6, but we have worked to be there. Continuing like this is the challenge. Winning this title we add experience to the players. Last year we played in the semi-finals of the FA Cup, we lost, but we gained experience. Today I was prepared to win or lose, obviously winning is better, but if you lose it is an experience too.”
