Morgan Rogers admits he has improved under the guidance of manager Unai Emery

Morgan Rogers, who plays for Aston Villa, was interviewed by the club's show and mentioned his amazing progress under the guidance of coach Unai Emery.

The 22-year-old Rogers moved to Aston Villa in January 2024. He came from West Bromwich Albion's youth training camp and has played for teams such as Manchester City and Middlesbrough.

When asked about joining Aston Villa, Rodgers said: "When a club wants you, that's one thing. But when the manager wants you, that's another level and that's what they kept telling me.

"At that time, I kept emphasizing that the coach was eager to sign me because he saw the potential in me. That feeling is better without this. Although he was very strict with me, I could feel his extra efforts. He wanted me to improve and become better because he saw the shining points in me and hoped that I could shine."

"We always talk about the next challenge. The better I want to perform, the more I need to do and the more pressure I will have. There are not many people like this coach. Some coaches will see that you are doing well and then focus on the next player, but he will always focus on you and is very demanding."

In all competitions this season, Rogers has scored 11 goals for Aston Villa. However, Rogers is not satisfied with the current results. He said: "As a club, we want to go further. In order to do this, we must win in major competitions."

"That's what the coach has always stressed, he's not just satisfied with our current achievements. He's not here to finish what we've done in the past two years, but to get stronger. He wants us to be a stable team, to fight for the Champions League every season and to be competitive in all competitions."
