Tonietto on Emery’s stay

It is apparent that Paulo Tonietto is no fan of Emery and says he was a ‘bad fit’. He claims that the French Champions lost 2 years of advance due to Emery. Unai Emery came to PSG from Spanish club Sevilla. He won the Europa league 3 times but failed at PSG. He could only take them to the round of 16 and got knocked out twice.

The agent said to L’ Equipe, “PSG lost two years the day they recruited him,”. “His problem is that he has trouble managing the stars. In Paris, it was the players who solved the situation after Neymar and [Edinson] Cavani clashed on-field over a penalty. When he went to Arsenal, the first player he got angry with was Mesut Ozil.”

“He’s a good coach to play in the Europa League, not the Champions League. The suit was too big for him. He was a terrible coach for PSG. “If there had been a coach of another calibre during these two years, PSG would have already won the Champions League.”

“The person foremost responsible for the Remontada is Emery,” the agent said. “He put Angel Di Maria on the bench. When he came on, the team played better before the final collapse. “Against Real Madrid in a 3-1 loss in 2018? Emery made bad changes by putting Dani Alves through the middle to bring in Thomas Meunier. At the same time, Zinedine Zidane brought on Marco Asensio, who was decisive.”

This year PSG under Thomas Tuchel made the final in the champions league. They lost narrowly to Bayern Munich 1-0 in their first final.
