LAMARE Bogarde believes his growing confidence, combined with the trust shown by manager Unai Emery, is helping him reach new levels in his game this season.

Bogarde's confidence levels get a huge lift from boss

The midfielder made successive Premier League starts on Sunday and was a contender for man of the match in Villa's 2-1 win over Burnley, having also impressed against Fulham the previous weekend.

He has developed significantly over the last 18 months, breaking into Emery's first-team plans last season, although he was often used as a stopgap at right-back, centre-back, or in midfield.

After playing some of his best football in the midfield double pivot alongside Boubacar Kamara or John McGinn it appears this is the role Emery will allow him to focus on and develop in moving forward.

"It is always good to start games. Last year, I started a couple. This season I feel like I can do more and I think the manager feels that now as well. He feels he can trust me," said Bogarde.
