Standard Liege striker Obbi Oulare: Watford made me a man

Standard Liege striker Obbi Oulare says he became a man during his spell with Watford.

The Belgian featured just three times for the Hornets after joining in 2015.

He joined Liege this summer, but he harbours no regrets about his time in Hertfordshire.

"Now it's easy to say I would have done better to stay in Bruges, but we'll never know," said Oulare.

"It's always easier to make a good decision when you have had similar experiences in your career.

"In football terms, I was ready. In other terms, I was not necessarily ready. I had private problems, it was a little complicated that time.

"But, I see also positive in this adventure, I learned a lot in England, that's where I became a man. In difficulty, mentally, you progress. When things are very difficult, you learn even more."
