Unai Emery has spoken out on Aaron Ramsey and revealed what he hates about England

Arsenal host Watford for their 7th Premier League game. The Gunners go into this match on the back of four straight Premier League victories while fourth-placed Watford are searching for their first win in three. Ahead of the game Arsenal boss Unai Emery faced the press. Emery on six wins in a row We will continue with our ideas and our work every day. Our focus is only on the match tomorrow against Watford. Each match is very difficult. Wednesday was difficult and against Watford, it will be the same. We all have the same focus, the same ideas, we will have the same preparation so we can give the best performance, both individual and collective. Emery on Ramsey For me, every player is very important in their relationship with the team. I consider each player an important space in the squad. Emery on Ramsey's no deal There are three elements, three aspects. One is the player and also the player with their family and representatives. The other is the club and the other is the squad. My focus is always on the team. My focus is preparing with the players and only thinking about the match tomorrow. Each player has individual aspects to work or to do or to speak with the club or with the team, but my aspect for the focus, only to think, is the matches and preparing for the matches and to speak with the players if they are thinking and are very concentrated on work for giving us the best performance and to help the collective performance. Emery on his September Thinking each match like our mentality is the focus. We’ve used different players but not for different competitions because we are playing three matches in a week and we need to use them to have the best performance quality and individually also. My first idea is to be very demanding of myself and ourselves to have the best preparation individually, and if they are playing well we will continue to give them chances, but keep thinking about our performance. We need to think to win each match. Emery on life at Arsenal I am enjoying it because I love my work and when I can explain my work with the players, they are responding as I want and also with every match with a good result, like the last matches, I am happy. For me, it’s a very good experience at the moment. There are still many matches, many days and I hope many years for continuing to improve here with my experience and my knowledge. But now, at the moment, I think the club is giving me a lot of positive things. I am working every day with the players with a very big commitment and my demands are very great, very big and also my challenge here too. Emery on what he hates about England I was born in the north of Spain, with the rain. Then I lived a lot in Spain, with the sun. I love the sun a lot. But also, we need the rain. Maybe if it was raining less, it’d be better. Emery on playing with Gracia in Spain In 1995/96, in Real Sociedad for one year. I knew him there, as a player and teammate with me. As a coach, he’s very competitive. He is improving and he is growing up in football with this mentality. He’s very competitive and here, I think Watford is starting the season very well because they are playing very well. Tomorrow is, for us, a big challenge to overtake him in the table and win against him. But I know before that it’s a very difficult match.

Emery on Ozil

It’s one decision that is very, very individual. I respect his decision to play or not play with the national team. But it’s the same, like when I speak to the individual players. I want only their focus for our match and for the match tomorrow. Tomorrow is our focus and I speak every day with the players and I spoke with every player - also with Mesut - to the focus and the concentration to prepare for the best performance tomorrow.

Emery on Watford's physicality

I think it’s a big match and a rivalry match tomorrow. They want to win against us with good things tactically and good things also individually. But we know, tomorrow we need to play and we need also in the individual duels on the pitch, to win for step-by-step in the 90 minutes so we can impose our ideas, our job and our moment physically on the match. They are a team with very good players, very competitive and with the duels they are a very hard team.

Emery on Arsenal's confidence

Each match gives us the opportunity to take more confidence. We are winning, I think the confidence is the best on our individual players and also on our collective work. But every match is one challenge to show and to give, to find our best moment and best performance. I think each player is thinking well, but also we need more.
