Watt said: “Obviously it’s been a very emotional week for my family, for my wife, and for me.”
“That’s why I’m very happy to have won today.”
“Of course,, I had a lot of emotions, but I’ve learned to appreciate the little things even more, so it’s good to win today.”
Watt added, “The only people who knew about it were people I had to trust.”
“And therefore injuries, I don’t care. If you lose because of injuries, it doesn’t matter, it’s football. But this one was very emotional for me, so it bothered me.”
Watt shared the news of his fear of atrial fibrillation after realizing it had been leaked and needed to be reported.
