Aston Villa boss Emery: The team is meeting it's targets

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery is delighted with the team's progress this season.

Villa meet Bournemouth on Sunday after reaching the Europa Conference League semifinals.

Emery said: "When I arrived here, in my first press conference I had the same message I have now; play in Europe, try to be a contender for a trophy and be demanding to get a better level every day. The club is being very demanding and ambitious.

"This year, we are in the last month and playing in two competitions; in Europe and in the Premier League trying to fight for a top position in the table. This is the level I want to keep."

On Bournemouth, he added: "They are playing very well and they are very competitive, they demand a lot of the opponent if you want to beat them. I appreciate the coach, the players and how they are playing. They are pushing and pushing always."
