arsenal back to the top table of domestic and european football. this isa domestic and european football. this is a massive football club, and this is a massive football club, and this is where we need to be, but we also need to recognise this transition is going to be one of the biggest challenges that we face, and we don't take your fingers and get overnight success. we have to understand that this will be a process about improving little bit more every day, working hard every day, working with unai emery, listening to him. i believe we can develop dramatically a state take on board his messages and are prepared to commit. an impressive first day in thejob for unai to commit. an impressive first day in the job for unai emery, to commit. an impressive first day in thejob for unai emery, but he does have a big job on his hands, they will be building job as arsenal tried to galvanise their players and reunite their fan base. tried to galvanise their players and reunite theirfan base. shortened summer reunite theirfan base. shortened summer with the world cup and the tra nsfer summer with the world cup and the transfer window closes earlier than the first time this summer. he needs to get to work immediately, before the premier league gets going on the

weekend of the 11th of august. let's get... david ornstein there, let's get the french persepctive now, persepctive now, let's get... i little earlier i spoke to the football journalist loic tanzy who has follwed psg this season. i asked him whether he was surprised by the appointment. not super surprised because he left paris with a very positive attitude. all the fans were really happy to have him as a coach, even if the reasons we re not have him as a coach, even if the reasons were not so have him as a coach, even if the reasons were not so good. his game was really good there and the stadium was the him, here for unai emery and the... we are not so surprised because he is a great coach, and arsenal is one of the best teams for him. this is the team that fits the most to unai emery. it is not a surprise at all. arsenal has said that he is a perfect fit

for them. what kind of a marriage are they getting? and manager billy goes to the players. he likes to do everything inside the club. —— a manager really close to the players. you couldn't do everything he wanted in paris, because there were too many egos inside the locker room in paris. at sevilla, he had a differentjob. it ps2 yet was all about breaking into europe, and that was as ultimate failure. i suppose cou nty was as ultimate failure. i suppose county arsenal yet the different job, just to get them back into the champions league places. he told everybody when he left paris that they had too much expectation. about europe part of the job in paris. it was too bad the club, because he won seven trophies in paris. 0k was too bad the club, because he won seven trophies in paris. okjust to national trophies, but still trophies, and not so easy to win

this trophy is. so, he wants to do the same thing in arsenal. he wants to do everything inside the club, so he is ok to work with everybody, but they can't tell what he has to do inside the pitch, and that is what the problem was in paris, because the problem was in paris, because the players have too much power in paris. the players do not have the power inside distressing, so they will have to leave the power to unai emery to allow him to succeed. the french journalist, loic tanzy, speaking to me a little earlier about unai emery the victory arsenal. 5th it's three days to go before the champions league final. liverpool's keeper loris karius has been talking about the prospect of facing real madrid. if you're old enough to remember any of liverpool's european cup finals you'll know that the goalkeepers have certainly played their part. the stand out one is of course

weeks. we play county, too cold. too hot, then moving to ireland, first two or three games very cold, and then coming here, very hot. the weather is too good here, so i think that as a captain, i see england at the moment a little bit less confident, as a team. so we will try our very best to take off the team, and ourteam, you our very best to take off the team, and our team, you know, we have a couple of younger players, good talented team, so we will try our very best to perform very well. pakistan promised they would be more. . . pakistan promised they would be more... england desperately need the energy which will come from a victory. all in all, this promises to be an intriguing miniseries. joel wilson at lord's. we will stay
