Emery: Aston Villa owners excited about Europe; we've talked about market plans
Aston Villa boss Unai Emery admits owners Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens are excited to be in Europe.
Villa are into the Europa Conference League after victory over Brighton on Sunday.
Emery said, "Before the match we were speaking about how motivated they were because Wes Eden has come to the last three matches here at home. Nassef has been at more matches as well because he's based closer in London. I think it's amazing for them to be here to share with us, with the players and the fans. They are very important in this project. They are very committed and they are supporting me, always. It's easier because we're winning. It's easy then, right?
"But in the last six months I'm very grateful for their support; their help. I'm proud they were with our fans because they are really the heart of the club. We are professionals but we have to involve our heart now with Villa fans to understand everything and to try to start living moments like today. I was speaking with the players; that is our moment, it's our time, now, to connect with our supporters for another objective. Our fans are proud of us and we are going with them.
