Yana ɗan shekara 17 kawai, ɗan wasa mai kai hari Brian Madjo ya sanar da kansa a fagen Turai ta hanyar da ta fi wani abu kyau. Ya fara daga farko, ya karya tarihin Patrick Kluivert na shekaru 30 a matsayin mafi ƙarancin shekarun mai zura ƙwallo a tarihin Super Cup — kuma ingancin wasansa ya yi daidai da tarihin kansa.
Madjo da ya iya zura ƙwallo huɗu a rabin farko kaɗai. Ya rasa dama uku manya kafin ya canza ta huɗu, ba tare da rasa kwarin gwiwa ko ƙwazo ko ɗaya ba. Tsawon awa ɗaya na farko na wasan, shi ne ɗan wasa mafi haɗari a filin da ya cika da taurari na duniya, yana azabtar da Marquinhos da Willian Pacho ta hanyar da 'yan wasa kaɗan suke iya yi.

Amma Emery ya ci gaba da kasancewa. «Muna ganin canje-canje — 'yan wasa suna tafiya, malamai ma, har ma da membobi na ma'aikatan lafiya suna tafiya», ya yarda. Shi ba ya tafiya.
A maimakon haka, yana bayyana ya yi mufti fiye da kowane lokaci. An ƙarfafa shi ta hanyar komawan kulob ga Champions League, yanzu yana ambaton misalin Borussia Dortmund da ya kai wasan ƙarshe a shekarar 2024 a matsayin shaida na abin da Aston Villa har yanzu ta iya cimma. «Muna ƙara kasafin kuɗinmu ta hanyar nasarori masu kyau a filin», in ji Emery.
