Russell Martin has revealed he had a frank chat with Olivier Ntcham after Swansea's City's Carabao Cup defeat to Oxford United.
The attacker failed to impress after being summoned from the bench as the Swans threw a two-goal lead at the Kassam Stadium before losing in a penalty shootout. However, Ntcham was the hero just four days later as he netted the winner at Blackpool on Saturday which earned Swansea their first victory of the campaign.
Martin believes Ntcham's desire to be on hand to tap home Michael Obafemi's pass against the Tangerines proved the 26-year-old took his words on board.
