“Some amateurs! I haven't seen anything like this in a long time”

The former international great declared himself disappointed by Freiburg. He called the Germans “amateurs”, believing that the difference between the two teams was huge.

Basarab Panduru: “I was about to fall asleep. You can't present yourself the way Freiburg did”

“If you want the Europa League, you take Unai Emery. You have a good chance to reach the final and win. That way, you reach the final a lot, but to win… It was a beautiful match, I almost fell asleep. I was waiting to see Freiburg, there were two players I wanted to watch.

I have the impression that they didn't come to the game. You can't present yourself the way Freiburg did. They were amateurs, they couldn't run or pass. I haven't seen such a difference between two teams in a long time.

The football was extremely poor tonight. You could see that the difference between the two teams was very big. It's the 4th place team in the Premier League.

It has Watkins, who scores at least 10 goals per season in the Premier League. But neither are Watkins, Rogers, McGinn, Buendia who knows what. Unai Emery is incredible. You want the Europa League, you take him,” said Basarab Panduru, on Prima Sport 1.

5 Europa LeagueUnai Emery won: 3 with Sevilla, 1 with Villarreal, 1 with Aston Villa

Panduru: “Emery doesn't know what players”

Panduru believes that Emery is the most important man at Aston Villa.

There is a big difference between Villa and the others in the Europa League. A 500-600 million team should be in the Champions League. Lyon, another big team, has 200 or so million quota. At 500 million, you have to play in the Champions League.

Emery has who knows what players at his disposal. Who is Matty Cash? Who is Worthy? He has a good goalkeeper, the center of the defense is good. I don't see 4 in England as a lot, I think it should be below.
