Unai Emery, the 47-year-old Arsenal manager, has become an unlikely social media sensation with fans, thanks to the 'Unai Cam' feature on the official Arsenal website.

However, Emery has now asked fans to stop focusing on him and instead concentrate on the team.

Speaking ahead of the north London derby against Tottenham, Emery said, "I'm not the protagonist, the players are the protagonists. The most important thing is the team."

He added, "Maybe after the match there can be footage of me and other things for the supporters to look at. But the most important camera is always the one following my players on the pitch."

Emery's desire to influence the match drives his passionate displays on the touchline, and he has been doing this throughout his career in Spain, France, and now at Arsenal.

As he prepares to face Tottenham, Emery is focused on giving his players the best solutions and energy to help them succeed.
