Watford boss Marco Silva: More to Richarlison than just talent

Watford boss Marco Silva has urged fans not to demand too much from Richarlison after his goalscoring performance in victory at Bournemouth.

Silva, while delighted with his early impact, is refusing to get carried away.

"I'm happy, of course," he said. "I don't like to talk about individuals too much. I know him very well and we've analysed him for a month and a half before signing him.

"He's a talent, it's easy to understand that - but he's not only a talent. He comes to work hard everyday.

"We need to be calm with him, he's only 20 and it's his first minutes in England. We need to have calm with him. He doesn't speak a word of English, and we need to give him time."
