Unai Emery remains calm as he prepares Aston Villa for their upcoming match against Club Brugge. Despite a slow start to the season, Villa's players have grown accustomed to Emery's composed demeanor, which contrasts sharply with his intense focus on performance.

Last season, Villa found themselves in a similar predicament, starting without a point in the Premier League and needing 157 minutes to score their first goal. However, they eventually qualified for the Champions League for the second time in three seasons. Following a goalless draw against Hull last Saturday, Emery expresses confidence that Villa can surpass expectations once again.

Emery recalls the ambitious project that brought Villa to European competition, noting that their success was beyond initial expectations. In his tenure, he has emphasized tactical discipline, leading to a remarkable turnaround last season where Villa achieved 17 wins in 19 matches after a slow start.

As they face Club Brugge for the fourth time in two years, Villa hopes to recapture their momentum. Emiliano Buendía, a key player, acknowledges the rocky start but believes in the squad's potential to regain confidence and improve results.

The team has seen significant changes, with numerous new signings, including Ibrahim Mbaye and Johan Manzambi, who are gradually being integrated into the squad. Despite the challenges, Emery maintains a positive outlook, knowing that every match is an opportunity to build on their progress. With crucial fixtures ahead, he remains dedicated to the team's development and success.
