Ever since Arsene Wenger left at the end of last season, there has been a lot of talk about how the new manager is going to take care of things.
And when Unai Emery was appointed, a lot of focus was given to his training methods and the way he will condition his squad.
The new methods have been grueling but the players including Aubameyang have responded to it positively.
After a particularly intense training session, this is what the striker had to say:

A little bit of banter to keep the spirits high as it is important given the long season that lies ahead. Emery prefers a more pressing style of play and for the players to be tuned that way, a lot of training is required.
The players will surely feel that things are a little different given the new personnel that has joined the club. Sometimes, a change is good and it will help breed success. Right now, the players need to trust what the coaches are doing and give it their all when it comes to training.
What Emery will be able to do is going to be under a lot of scrutiny so it is better that the players and the officials get used to the way training is done.
When he was asked about how he felt the first two weeks of working with the squad were, this is what he had to say:
‘Good afternoon everybody. The first two weeks for us is to start knowing the club, knowing the players, knowing all the people who are working with us. And then to work tactically, technically and physically, to start this way and get ready for the friendly match [on Saturday]. We will arrive 50 per cent in our way.’
Even if the start is slow, one can expect that the change in manager is sure to have a positive effect on the whole.
