“I love Roberto," he said ahead of the return game at Vicarage Road on Saturday.
"The first conversation I had with him was after Everton in the league, he gave me great advice, how he is managing in the Premier League, the conduct of English and foreign players. That was the first time I met him.
“He’s always a very interesting man and a manager. I love him. Everything he told me before was right.
“He wanted to tell me something and appreciated his advice.”
Watford should have a full strength squad available for the clash with Everton as they look to bounce back from four consecutive league defeats.
