Unai Emery’s start to life at Arsenal may be going quite well, but Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti is clearly not so much of a fan.
Speaking to Le Parisien, as cited on Get French Football News, Verratti explains how Emery made life difficult with the French side during his time in charge there.
Each manager has a different way of doing things with his players, of making them understand things. Sometimes with Emery, things were quite difficult… Is the difference relating to human personality? Yes I think so.
Tuchel isn’t playing around… But coming to a training session with a shut-off face, that doesn’t work. We have found our smile again, we had lost it a little.
Emery took over at PSG after a successful time at Sevilla and while he won the several trophies during his time in France, the latter stages of his time at the club were not deemed to be too successful.
There were some suggestions that Emery struggled with the power shift once Neymar joined the club.
The new Arsenal boss has since been very vocal about the impact that the Brazilian has at the club.
PSG replaced Emery with Thomas Tuchel over the summer and they currently sit top of the Ligue 1 table after eight games.
