View from the camps
Thomas Tuchel, Chelsea coach: “What better way to start the season than with a European final! I have immense respect for Villarreal and Unai Emery. I mean, they’ll have to call [the UEFA Europa League] Soon the Unai Emery Trophy! He is incredible. I think they will approach this game with the feeling that they have nothing to lose. But we will do our best to win the trophy. “
Unai Emery, Villarreal coach: “I want to win the Supercopa because so far I haven’t done it. I have participated in two [in 2014 and 2015 with Sevilla] and lost both. It would be a great way to end last season. We could make the story again and do something wonderful before the new campaign. The Super Cup will show what we are capable of against a top team like Chelsea, the reigning European champions and, for me, the best team in the world. “
