Buzzing Folivi wants more after Watford chance

Watford’s 6-1 hammering at the hands of Liverpool certainly won’t be the happiest day in Michael Folivi’s budding footballing career.

But after the 18-year-old travelled with Watford’s Premier League squad for the first time, it certainly won’t be a day he forgets any time soon.

Folivi has been in prolific form for Harry Kewell’s Under-23s so far this year, but when he realised he may be set for a shock Premier League debut, the youngster could hardly sleep.

And though Jurgen Klopp’s men gave Watford a harsh lesson at Anfield as they went top of the table, Folivi has got the taste for more.

“It was an amazing feeling. I got told the day before it was 50-50 I might be in the squad, so then I was obviously thinking about it the whole night,” said Folivi.

“I got to the training ground in the morning and trained, and I just wanted to see the sheet to see if my name was on it.

“I got told I was in the squad and it was a real buzz. Everyone was happy. That’s where the experience starts really. I’ve done the first bit and I’m really happy with that.”
