Watford striker Okaka admits frustrating season: Many falsehoods...

Watford striker Stefano Okaka admits he's been angry this season over the way he's been treated.

Okaka has worked his way back into first team reckoning under manager Javi Gracia, though says he had no chance with former manager Marco Silva.

He told gianlucadimarzio.com: "It could have been a fantastic season. Here at Watford this year I have never been injured but I have always been excluded for technical choices. Falsehoods against me have been said. I also trained alone and it was not nice to deal with these situations.

"It has been a particular year and a half, let's see what the future holds for me. There were problems that I still cannot explain and I was pushed out: initially a relationship never took off with manager Marco Silva; then came a new coach, who is employing me and I think I've managed to help the team when called into action.

"Obviously my initial goals were others but if life gave me this there will be a reason."
