Aston Villa manager Unai Emery expressed reservations about utilizing Marcus Rashford and Ollie Watkins as a strike duo against Paris Saint-Germain in their upcoming Champions League quarterfinal. Despite the need to overcome a 3-1 deficit, Emery acknowledged that he hasn't had enough time to develop their partnership on the field. He emphasized the importance of players knowing their roles and how to manage the emotional and tactical aspects of the game to achieve a comeback. Both players have been performing well, with Rashford scoring three goals during his loan and Watkins contributing significantly this season.
"The next step, if I have time, is to play them together... but not now, with enough time."
"Every player has to know their task on the field, and they have to understand as well how we manage the match emotionally and tactically."
