BREAKING: Unai Emery claims he made personal contact with Denis Suarez and provides an update on Ozil's future(Press Conference)

Arsenal’s form has dipped in recent weeks and they face a huge encounter in the race for the top four on Saturday against Chelsea at the Emirates. Ahead of the game Arsenal boss, Unai Emery has faced the press. Unai Emery unsure if Sven Mislintat is leaving I was working with him the last two weeks we had two or three meetings together. We are working normally. I don’t know other issues. I don’t know [if he’s leaving]. My relationship about transfers is we’ve been speaking about that for the last two, three weeks. Emery on January transfer window It is not easy to take players who can help us with better performances than we already have. The club is working, I spoke with [Mislintat] about different possibilities but it’s not easy to take players who can help us with big performances now. On Petr Cech retiring First, he is a very big person. A person I’ve only known for six months, a person who is close to more people than me. As a player, he was great, with a lot of titles in his career. The respect to him is very big for me and for all the football world. His decision is a very, very personal decision. I respect him. He said to us at the beginning of the week, when he did we were surprised but respectful. He was thinking with his family about this decision. All we can say to him after every player in the team, we want to find a good moment with you at the end of your career. On facing Chelsea I want to see the victory first. We are doing two different performances at home and away. We want to find the balance with two moments. We are going to go game by game and the first is Saturday. At home, I think we are doing very big matches with big confidence with our supporters. Chelsea will be a difficult, tough match. It’ll be a good test for us. We wanted to take this match with three points more in the table but our defeat in West Ham doesn’t give us this possibility. Saturday I think I am looking for us to play this match well. I want to see my team playing with a good performance, showing our supporters we can do more and better than we are doing away. On Spygate and the Leeds boss There are two things. One, is it legal or illegal? Two is fair play. I know him. In his career, above all in Spain, I know he is obsessive but a very big professional doing his work. For me, I respect him a lot. He’s one of the best coaches in the world. Everyone can have his opinion. Mine is the only mine for my inside. On fears, Watford may be spying on Arsenal In all my career I protect a lot so that there is not the possibility because I want to keep my work against every team and every match and protect the possibility not to give them a look at my training sessions. We close the training ground. In Spain, it’s different, every training session the first 15 minutes is open to looking, to take video for these matches. You need to open. Then they leave and we work alone without the other people. Usually, I protect a lot to not let the opposition look at our training. Someone can come when it’s open and take information to give the opposition to our work. When it’s like that I cannot work something that we do in the next matches.  Every day we work alone and sometimes I say to our camera not to show videos when we are working on something tactically. We cannot show them. More on Spygate I respect him a lot and his career... Everyone can have an opinion on if it’s legal or not. Mine is the only mine. [Asked whether he’ll say what he thinks] You can ask me. Did you do sometimes that? No. More on transfers This transfer [window] is not easy to take players who can help us with more performance than the players we have now. The club is working. I spoke with Sven and Raul about different possibilities for players. They are working. It’s not easy to take players who can help us with a big performance now. It’s more one transfer [window] for something special you need. The club is working on the possibility to loan players. If we can take to help us for different positions in the team we can. Latest on Denis Suarez Conversations with us have been very primitive. I don’t want to say to you this private conversation with the club. Conversations with us have been very primitive. I don’t want to say to you this private conversation with the club. On Mesut Ozil's personal life Yes. I spoke with him in the summer, with his personal life. He said to me he’s going to get married this year, at the end of the season. The private life is their life. I spoke with him, I want big consistency with him. He had big injuries. These injuries, sometimes he’s ok, sometimes he’s not ok. I want [from] every player the same work every day, to be ok for every match. For him it’s the same, he didn’t play the last matches. He’s like another player. This Saturday can be if he’s ok, a possibility to be with us. On Mesut Ozil's availability Now he is training with consistent work during the last two weeks. He can be [available]. Emery on whether Ozil could leave this January I am not thinking about that. I am thinking about how he can help us. He helps us sometimes this year with good performances and other moments with not good performances like another player. Other moments he has had injuries and has not been ok to play the matches. Now after these two weeks working with normality maybe this Saturday can be ok for us. Emery on whether Ozil situation has frustrated him I like to create the same spirit for all. Every player gets and gives us consistent work at consistent moments. It’s not easy. Sometimes you are better. Sometimes you are worse. With every player, I am working and thinking about that the same. The most important for me is how he can help us with being consistent and also when they are ok to train every day and play matches. Emery provides a team news update Saturday is a big test. Our first objective is to be in the top four, it’s more difficult after our defeat in West Ham. But we can take opportunities like Saturday if we win. It’s a good test, a good challenge. We can be closer to them with a win. We have the possibility to take three points against them and be closer to them and our objective. This is the test. In the 38 matches, there are small finals.

On what to expect from Chelsea

A very organised team with very important players. Difficult but I believe in our spirit, in our quality, in our organisation when we are playing at home with our support. It’s very special, each match in the Emirates. A tough match but if we play with our big performance, organisation, we can win. It’s difficult. It’s a test. We can be how we are. At the beginning of the season we played against them and now in matchday 23, we are going to play against them. It’s a good moment and a very good test. Emery on Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri It’s positive. His team, they have one very good idea and very good personality, as he played with Napoli. Now when you watch Chelsea’s matches they are playing well and with this identity. For us also it’s a good test for how we can impose on one team. Usually, they imposed each match against the opposition. They won against Manchester City. This test for us is the same. If we can impose our idea, our gameplan against them, it’s the best test for us. On whether Cech could get a coaching role Now it’s very difficult to speak about that. I want to enjoy with him the last four months. To do together in a big way, finding our objectives with him. Now it’s very difficult to speak about that. I want to enjoy with him the last four months. To do together in a big way, finding our objectives with him.
