Unai Emery feels Villa’s 2-0 defeat at RB Leipzig provided them with a strong “test” as they prepare for next season’s UEFA Champions League campaign.
Goals from Andre Silva and Lois Openda secured victory for the Bundesliga outfit before Diego Carlos was shown a second yellow card on the verge of half-time.
Emery said after the game: “We are in pre-season and practicing with the team and progressively getting better. “The idea after it was to get the work we did with players like Jacob Ramsey and Emi Buendia taking minutes.” “Of course, he is a player for us to play as a midfielder, but he’s competitive and his adaptation is going really well.”
