Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins says he has "gone up another level" in his time working under Unai Emery and has praised the impact of the "unbelievable" Spainard.
In this week's edition of the Football Interview, Kelly Somers spoke to Villa forward Watkins about a wide range of topics including his journey in football, sports therapists, going from playing on loan at Weston-super-Mare in the Conference South to sending England to the Euro 2024 final, and his relationships with key figures such as Emery and Michael Owen.
Watkins has enjoyed his three best top-flight scoring seasons under Emery, and underlined his rise with two goals in Thursday's Europa League quarter-final first leg away in Bologna.
"For me, he's unbelievable," Watkins said on Emery.
"He's obviously seen me at my best and at my worst but I've had all my best moments under this manager.
"I think some of the best moments of the club have come through me, some of my moments.
"He has a lot of faith in me and I think that's why there would be times where I haven't scored and he'll keep picking me because he believes in me and I think he knows that even if I'm not bringing goals to the table that I always work hard for the team, do my job, and he can rely on me.
"He's got that faith in me and I feel like I've gone up another level since he's come in."
