Watford Coach Urges Success To Justify His Inclusion In Starting XI Ahead Of Ighalo

Watford manager Walter Mazzarri has urged Nigerian striker Isaac Success to justify his inclusion in the starting lineup against Middlesbrough.

With the 20-year-old preferred ahead of compatriot Odion Ighalo, the Italian coach is eager to see how he performs from the blast of the whistle, having starred in five consecutive cameo appearances.

Mazzarri stated : “We have given Success this chance and now it’s up to him to show us on the pitch. I’m very curious to see how we do.”

In his previous matches in the English top-flight, Isaac Success accumulated 98 minutes of game time and was cautioned once, against Burnley.

He penned a five-year deal with the Vicarage Road outfit in July 2016.
