Every word Arsenal boss Unai Emery just said on Dani Ceballos, Real Madrid and Joe Willock

How important would a win against Real Madrid be?

It's all going as we prepared with the young players playing and showing their capacity with us and taking their rhythm, confidence and tactical work. Tomorrow is the last, maybe the most difficult, match and another opportunity for every player to show his capacity.

The most important thing isn't the result, it's important to use players, it’s taking experience, sharing experienced players and young players.

Will young players get their chance?

We started playing against Colorado Rapids with a lot of young players. Progressively we are using less minutes. To share with the experienced players it depends on the matches.

Tomorrow at the beginning I want to take more minutes with players thinking for the match against Newcastle.

But also we are going to use some young players at the beginning or during the match to continue to try their capacity against a difficult Real Madrid.

Could Joe Willock step in for that Newcastle game?

It depends. He's playing and progressing. I spoke with him last year, he started with us but really in the pre-season didn't play and didn't use these minutes to take confidence or be with us more reguarly.

Progressively during the season and now it's different. He feels better with the confidence and feels better tactically like we want.

He's playing the matches with a good performance and can get minutes for the next matches.

What is it you saw in Dani Ceballos to make the move for him?

We were speaking about the possibility to sign one player for line. We had different names. The club was working on that.

Ceballos is a very good player. I know him from Betis at the beginning and Real Madrid.

He played very well in the Under-21s, his national team won the competition. He is one eight and 10 player.
