Disappointed by his role as a replacement during the quarterfinals of the Champions League against PSG, despite his return from injury, Ollie Watkins did not hide his disappointment.
The quarterfinals of the Champions League between Aston Villa and Paris Saint-Germain (1-3, 3-2) were a source of frustration for Ollie Watkins. The Villans striker, back from injury, had only little playing time, starting the two games on the bench, while his coach, Unai Emery, opted for Marcus Rashford.
“I played 20 minutes against PSG in the two games. I'm not going to lie, I was furious not to play. I told the coach. This is the choice of the coach. But I am not one of those players who are content to stay on the bench. This is something new for me and I was frustrated not to participate fully in such an appointment. The team played well, but I wanted to be on the field longer. I was a key element in the qualification for the Champions League and it is therefore normal to want to participate in these matches ”, told the native of Torquay to Sky
Sports.
Back in force against Newcastle
This Saturday, Watkins found his place as a holder against Newcastle (4-1). The English striker scored a goal and issued a decisive pass during the wide success of his team against the Magpies.
Since the start of the season, at 29, the player has scored 16 goals and delivered 13 assists in 48 appearances.
