Arsenal full-back Hector Bellerin praised head coach Unai Emery for the freshness he’s brought to the club after replacing Arsene Wenger following a 22-year tenure, The Times reports.

The former Sevilla manager has tried to improve upon Wenger’s basic principles by ensuring that we pass out from the back starting with the goalkeeper.

Also, the defensive line is forced to hold a high line as we attempt to win the ball back, all slight tweaks to what we were trying to achieve under Wenger.

Along with the three-time Europa League winner, Emery has brought five members of staff in his set-up, with the only remaining figure being Steve Bould.

And for Bellerin, the change has been refreshing: “It feels like a new club,” the 23-year-old was quoted as saying.

“I am impressed with Emery. We lost our first two games but we were very close both times. After the match, the players could feel that things were coming together.

“With Arsène, he wanted us to play in the same way regardless of the opponents. The idea was that we could play in our way and beat anyone.

“But Emery is very focused on preparing a plan for our next opponents, whoever they may be. It is very detailed and very professional. The next few months are going to be very exciting for all of us. We will reach a higher level.”

It’s clear to see that Bellerin is enjoying the constant tactical instructions from the sidelines, and one thing we can already see is that Emery will kick every ball with the players.

Modern coaches like to be visible on the sideline and at 46-years-old, Emery is the most decorated coach his age.
