Watford winger Gerard Deulofeu holds no grudge against Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde after leaving in January.

Deulofeu is on-loan at Watford to season's end.

But he doesn't blame Valverde: "A lot it is my fault. At the end of the day, it's me who has to earn the right to play more. I think I was better off the bench than when I had the chance to start games. I know I didn't prove myself. I believe in myself more than anyone, but I recognise I was not consistent."

In direct reference to Valverde, the Catalan attacked explained: "I told the boss when I left on loan 'a lot of this is my fault because you have given me the opportunities I wanted.'"
