Football: Starting from the abandonment of the rich and powerful

Chapter 226

Leicester City managed to take three points at home, but manager Pearson couldn't be happier.

The team will take on Watford away to Watford in three days' time, with the team only having half a day off and assembling at the club for training on the afternoon of the second day of the game.

Located in the southeast of England, Watford F.C. has been a Premier League lift in recent years, often dominating the Championship and often finishing bottom after being promoted to the Premier League.

Don't look at the team that has been playing in the Championship and Premier League in recent years, this team founded in 1881 has no tabletop record, the team has

played the role of Premier League lift in recent years, but has not won even a Championship title.

Watford have never won a top-flight title in their history, and their FA Cup and League Cup records are a mess.

The team's home stadium is the Vikarague Road Stadium, which can accommodate more than 20,000 people.

In the first 13 league rounds of Watford, 6 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats, with 22 points in the upper rankings, neither strong nor weak.

Due to the short interval between the two games, Pearson's original intention was to let the players rotate properly, and Jiang Ge, Shinji Okazaki and Sliemani who started in the last game took turns

, because they only got one goal in the last game, and Jiang Ge, who was eager to earn a goal bonus, insisted on starting out.

However, because of the yellow card, Pearson had to put Jiang Ge on the bench, and Shinji Okazaki and Sliemani did not come to Hertfordshire with the team.

Away to Watford, Pearson's starting line-up is

: goalkeeper: Schmeichel Jr.;

Defenders: Albrighton, Wes Morgan (captain), Benaluan, Fox;

Midfielders: Simpson, N'Golo Kante, Andy King;

Forwards: Vardy, Ulloa, Mahrez.

The formation is 433, with Ulloa in the centre position and Jamie Vardy playing on the right wing.

The starting line-up for Watford is

: goalkeepers: Gomes

defenders: Motta, Connolly, Cascat, Angela;

Midfielders: Watson, Abdi, Gediura;

Forwards: Tini (captain), Ighalo, Vedra.

The formation is also 433, facing the league leader who has won ten consecutive games, Watford does not seem to be conservative at all

, the first two rounds of the league, Leicester City's opponents have given other teams a good demonstration

, the most effective strategy against Leicester City is to put the bus, limit Jiange, Okazaki Shinji or Vardy to death

, as long as the power of these three points cannot be played, there is a high probability of preventing Leicester City.

Watford coach Quake Flores has ignored it, believing the team can compete with the Blue Foxes at home.

Quaker Flores has just joined Watford this season, and

the new manager is very trusted, calling him the team's highest-level manager in three decades.

Watford beat Bournemouth 6-1 at home

, while Leicester City almost didn't capsize when they played Bournemouth in the last round, and if it weren't for Jiang Ge's brilliant stroke, the team's winning streak would have been halted.

This is probably the main reason why Quaker Flores believes the team can play Leicester City.

The attendance of Vikarag Road Stadium has not been very high, although there are only more than 20,000 seats, and it has always been dissatisfied.

The team hosted the league leaders today, and although it was not the weekend, the Vikarague Road Stadium was packed, and

fans arrived early in their home shirts to chat, pose or drink beer, just like a holiday.

There were only a thousand Leicester City fans on the expedition, Watford gave only so many tickets

, and in a crowd of red and yellow fans, there was only a handful of blue.

Around Leicester City fans, guarded by a group of security personnel in uniform uniforms

, Watford fans' ancestors are pirates and fishermen, not good kind

, genetic inheritance, Watford fans are not notorious, by no means a good talker, a word may fight.

Pearson instructed the substitutes and coaching staff to hide under the awning and watch out for mineral water bottles and other debris that came to the stands behind the bench.

As soon as Jiang Ge and others walked out of the player tunnel, some fans raised their middle fingers to greet

them, and Jiang Ge didn't see it, let alone interact with them.

In the live broadcast room of Huaguo JG Sports, today's commentary guest is General Fan Da, a former international player of Hua Guo.

After greeting the fans, General Fan directly said his opinion on

the game: "I watched the highlights of the first few games

, especially the last game, Leicester City's home win can be described as a thrill

, if it were not for Jiang Ge's zero-degree angle shot, Leicester City would only be forced to 0:0 by Bournemouth!"

"Well, yes, Leicester won the last game, Bournemouth is resilient, and no team should be underestimated!"

"Actually, Huddersfield, Bournemouth, including today's Watford, the strength is average, from the overall strength alone, Leicester City can easily win these three teams!"

"But football is round, there are always unexpected situations..."

"Accidents are accidents, Pearson's coaching level is not good, he did not find a way to liberate Jiang Ge, let the other side two or three people stare at Jiang Ge, the team's top scorer was seen by the other party to death, the team does not lose even if it is good!"

"Coach Fan, so what do you think of Pearson's platoon formation today?"

General Fan looked at the starting lineup and replied: "From the perspective of the lineup alone, it should be 433, this configuration is okay, if you can't open the situation for a long time, it depends on when he sent Jiang Ge up?"

"If you replace Jiang Ge, who do you think is the most suitable replacement?" Zhan Jun asked.

"According to Pearson's previous style of play, the probability of replacing Ulloa is the highest, Vardy goes to the center position, and Jiang Ge plays his familiar right wing."

"Do you think there is a better adjustment?"

"Uh..." General Fan thought for a while and said, "If you can't open the situation for a long time, or if you are behind on the road, it's better to remove a central defender and send Jiang Ge up to be a shadow striker!"

"You're talking about a formation of 3313, right?"

"Yes, Jiang Ge, who hides behind the high school forward, is the sharpest, and Pearson as a professional coach cannot not know, it depends on whether he dares to do so."

On the field.

Leicester City were given the first kick-off and Simpson opened the ball and passed to N'Golo Kante, and the players from both sides scattered.

Watford winger and captain Tini immediately approached N'Golo Kante

, the least tackle-prone midfielder this season, as well as the best steal stats, something only the iron-headed Tini would dare to do.

Two other strikers, Ighalo and Vedra, stepped forward, and the home team's midfield line also pressed Leicester City's half,

which means that Watford seem to want to steal one in the opening period.
