FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Je-Vaughn Watson responded with two words when New England Revolution head coach Jay Heaps told him he’d be playing center back against Orlando City SC.
“Okay, boss.”
Watson, whose first four appearances with the Revolution were at right back, was asked to shift into the middle for last weekend’s 2-2 draw to compensate for the absence of Jose Goncalves. The versatile Jamaican took the reassignment in stride and put forth perhaps his best performance in a Revs jersey.
“At the end of the day, whatever the coach wants me to do, I’m going to be able to do it,” Watson said.
