Unai Emery says 24-year-old Aston Villa player has been working hard in training
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has spoken highly of Moussa Diaby ahead of the Villans’ upcoming Premier League fixture.
The Villa boss, speaking to , says he’s ha🎉ppy with the 24-year-old, whose “commitment is high and his behaviour is fantastic.”
Emery also says he has spoken to Diaby a🦩bout his downturn in form over the past few months, saying he’s still in the p🐽rocess of fully adapting to the Premier League.
Diaby joined Villa to much fanfare from Bayer Leverkusen last summer. He hit the ground running, with six goal c💙ontributions from his fᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚirst seven Premier League games.
However, the Frenchman has registered just one goal from his last 12 Premier L𝓰eague games for Villa, a🦩nd looks as though he’s been playing within himself of late.
Aston Villa ace Moussa Diaby is always trying to improve
Emery, speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday’s Premier League trip t🐻o Sheffield United𒐪, said he had no concerns over Diaby’s form.
“I spoke with him and usually we are meeting with the squad, with the team collectively and individually too,” he said. “I send them the same message – we are buildin꧒g a team and we are in that process.
“I am happy with him. His commitment is high and his behaviour is fantastic.༺ His performances haven’t been consistent but I can understand because he is in the process of understanding everything.
“He is adapting in the Pr𓄧emier League which is difficult. I don’t know if it’s more difficult t🌳han in Germany, but it is difficult.
“We are alwa🎀ys trying to send him the same message – we are building a team collectively. You have to understand and prac🅷tice a lot how we can combine with different players in our tactical idea and get stronger when we face each match.
“He is in the process and with this process I am happy. The most important thing for me is is the commitment and behaviour everyday𝄹. He is always with his 🥀teammates practising and trying to improve.”
Aston Villa ace Moussa Diaby will get back to his best – TBR View
It’s just one of those things isn’t it? In the past two seasons, we’ve seen countless world-class players suffer downturns in form, some of 𝐆which have lasted for months.
There have been cases of general fatigue due to workload, carrying long-term injuries (such as Tottenham’s Richarlison, now in amazing form after groin surgery), or even just needing a bit more time to adapt (such as Liverp𝄹ool’s Darwin Nunez).
Diaby is a world-class player whose 🔯talents we’ve all seen. Just because he’s in a bit of a downturn in form doesn’t mean it’ll always be the case. He’ll get all the support he needs at Bodymoor Heat🌌h and hopefully it won’t be long before he’s back to his best.
