Read our privacy policy Aston Villa head coach Unai Emery admits he sometimes has to stop Ollie Watkins from over-doing things in training, with the striker so keen to continue his fine form. “I want to help him as well, trying to support him with my experiences with strikers and giving him the confidence to do more and more.” Emery told a press conference: “I am demanding of him as well when we don’t have the ball, defensively, trying to be together, his attitude defensively is amazing as well. Overall, he is improving in everything.” Villa number one Emiliano Martinez was named the top men’s goalkeeper at The Best FIFA Awards in Paris on Monday, having helped Argentina win the World Cup in Qatar.
