"My approach as a coach is to consider the context of each team and ask: 'How far can we go? Where is our final barrier?' I want to break through it," Emery said.

He also acknowledged the team's history, including their European Cup win and Europa League title, and set a goal for himself and the club: "To win and compete at the highest level." Emery believes that the team needs to develop more capacity and muscle to reach the top.

Emery is satisfied with the progress the team has made and is committed to continuous improvement. The team will face a significant test in their upcoming Super Cup match against Paris Saint-Germain, a European heavyweight.
