According to the Sun, Villa drew 1-1 with Sunderland away. Before the referee blew the final whistle, Emery walked towards the opponent's coach's seat in advance to shake hands with the opponent's head coach, and then walked into the play...
fans commented: "Emery left the game early before the game was over. This is not a good signal." "I didn't even pay any greetings to the Expedition fans. It seems that Emery's day in Villa is really about to enter the countdown."
In an interview after the game, Emery explained that the game was about to end and there was no suspense in the final score.
"The game has only 30 seconds left, and the goalkeeper is still holding the ball. Usually the goalkeeper takes about 1 minute to kick off. Obviously, the game is basically over."
"The team did not play the football I wanted and failed to control the game. Some new players still need time to adapt, but other players are very clear that we should work hard to control the ball, rather than be tired of defending without the ball."
After the away draw with Sunderland 1-1, Villa's record in the Premier League in the new season is currently only 3 draws, 2 losses, 1 goal and 5 goals, ranking 18th. In addition, they were eliminated early in the League Cup, and Emery was under increasing pressure.
