Unai Emery, fed up with questions: “My English is very poor”
Emery left thinking the match was over, but Aston Villa drew 4-4 with Manchester United and the coach closed a press conference with a viral line.
Unai Emery, manager of Aston Villa, walked off Old Trafford convinced the game had finished, but it went on for about two more minutes after Patrick Dorgu's equaliser in the 96th minute and a VAR check. According to La Vanguardia, a Sky Sports reporter kept pressing him about that extra time, and the Spaniard lost patience.
Emery insisted there was no emotion involved: “They scored in the 96th minute and six minutes had been added. I thought the match was ending.” When the reporter pushed again, he replied that the restart from the centre spot came at 96 minutes and 30 seconds.
Tired of explaining it, he ended with a line that has gone viral: “My English is very poor, but is it clear or not?” He then wrapped up the interview wishing the reporter a good Sunday.
