Agbonlahor issues ‘100%’ Cash claim amid ‘massive’ reveal

Gabby Agbonlahor has “100 per cent” backed Matty Cash to improve at Aston Villa after his experiences representing Poland at the World Cup.

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, Aston Villa’s record Premier League goalscorer insisted Cash will have “more confidence and more experience” ahead of the resumption of the Premier League.

The 25-year-old played every minute of Poland’s World Cup campaign and came up against Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe before they were knocked out by France in the round of 16.

As quoted by the Guardian earlier this week (5 December), the right-back admitted there was a “massive” difference between watching Mbappe and facing him in person.

“I had pace and when you’ve got pace and someone leaves pace to the side of you, you’ve got no chance,” Agbonlahor told Football Insider correspondent Connor Whitley.

“Nobody had a chance against me when I got them one-on-one and Mbappe was the same.

“When I was watching the game, a lot of the time, Matty Cash would let Mbappe control the ball and run towards him, you’ve got no chance.

“Unless you push him over to the right-hand side and drag somebody over to help you, you’ve got no chance.

“It will 100 per cent make him a better player, he’s going to have more confidence and more experience.

“He did well all round. Now he’s just got to get back and get used to Unai Emery’s tactics.

“I think it will help improve him even more.”

He has now linked up with his Aston Villa teammates in Dubai for their training camp.

Emery’s side resume their Premier League on Boxing Day when Liverpool visit Villa Park.
