Eighty-six, Lynn John is always right
Four days later, the third round began, and Lynn complained a lot about this schedule, and when he got together with the coaching staff, he scolded the FA men for being inhumane.
It's just started this season, it's a high-intensity competition, and it doesn't give a gradual process at all, especially with a promoted horse like Watford, who don't have much experience in the top flight.
The opponent is Coventry, which is also a relegation opponent.
Watford's two victories have also caught the eye of some teams, such as Coventry.
The two sides engaged in a rhythm battle.
Coventry is doing everything possible to slow down the pace of the game and keep Watford from rushing up.
Of course, in order to win the game, Watford will have to find ways to speed it up.
Coventry, on the other hand, have clearly studied Watford's tactical peculiarities carefully.
The game was a stalemate, but Wolford broke the deadlock with a powerful header from Klose to win by a narrow goal.
Three wins in a row, but the third win was a bit tough.
This is still a home game, if it is an away game, people may not be able to withstand it, and even lose.
Lynn, too, re-watched the video of the game a few times after returning home, wondering what the problem was, was the opponent playing extraordinary, or was his player cocking his tail?
However, after watching it many times, Lynn had to admit that Coventry did not play very well, but found a way to deal with Watford's attack.
The heavy troops are in the middle, and the players on the wing pay attention to the card position, never take the foot easily, reduce the distance between the players, and do not give Watford space and distance to sprint.
Put two speed players in the front court to harass and counterattack.
At this time, the problem of Watford's single offensive ability was exposed, and the wing assault tactics were definitely threatening, but there was a premise, that is, they could have space to sprint.
Coventry is just not strong, if there is a different opponent, maybe Watford will be planted.
Thinking about this, Lynn had cold sweat on her forehead.
It's not that Watford's players are cocking their tails, it's that he himself underestimated the Premier League.
I think Watford's strength is okay, and he has enough confidence to come up with such a set of attacking tactics to deal with those teams that are not strong.
Thankfully, Coventry were so bad and of course they weren't so lucky, with a couple of fatal chances missed in the game to give Watford time to win.
Otherwise, once Coventry had scored first, the result would have been completely different.
The psychological change can be like a mountain crushing Watford's fragile confidence.
And the Coventry players will also add more grit and Watford.
If that's the case, the end of the game speaks for itself.
To be able to get three points, Lynn shouted lucky in her heart.
Because of the national team competition, the league was suspended, which also gave Lynn a chance to adjust, and he had to adjust his mentality and not be blinded by the victory in front of him.
Although Watford's team does not have many Chinese players, there are still seven or eight players who have received call-up faxes.
There were even some players who received a call-up order from the national youth team, and looking at the empty training ground, Lynn had no choice but to give the rest of the players a holiday, but still told them not to indulge themselves and be careful to come back for spot checks
The fourth-round opponent is Leeds United, a young guard who are now in the limelight and join Manchester United and Arsenal in the race for supremacy.
Their squad is full of talented players and they are now ranked behind Watford on goal difference.
Some media also laughed that this is the most asymmetrical battle for the top spot.
They have a point, as Leeds United showed great fighting power last season, finishing third in the Premier League and already a veritable powerhouse.
Elland Road Stadium, the home of Leeds United, is home to some of the most fervent fans in the world and is known as the Devil's Stadium by many Premier League teams.
Lynn felt the difference in the dressing room, this was his first time at Elland Road, and in his previous life, he also lamented the abnormal decline of Leeds United, and it was really sad that such a team full of youthful passion had fallen apart because of the concern for money.
From the crack in the door, the high-pitched singing of Leeds fans was constantly heard, and the sound of neat stomping made the room vibrate from time to time.
Lynn also looked outside just now, and there were definitely more than 40,000 people in the Elland Road stadium, which can accommodate more than 39,000 fans, and none of these fanatical fans were sitting, they were all standing there in various ways to beat the morale of the visiting team and cheer for their players.
Obviously, their tactics worked a little bit, and Lynn also saw some of his players turn pale, they haven't experienced such a scene.
Lynn knows very well that today's game is definitely the biggest hurdle for Watford, and whether he can get through it depends on how he does it.
Leeds United is definitely proud now, in fact, Elland Road is also a place that makes Manchester United, Arsenal and other teams feel numb, it is very difficult to take advantage here, according to the media, this battle for the top spot, Watford no matter how much they lose, is not ashamed.
But Lynn doesn't like to lose, and he doesn't like the feeling of being confirmed to lose before he even plays.
However, he couldn't say it publicly, and he was worried, or Lynn knew it was definitely a tough challenge.
In the stands, Leeds United fans, who have taken advantage of the time and place, have played their madmen to an unattainable extreme.
Some of the Watford fans who came with the team had already been drowned in the white waves, and there was no splash at all.
Lynn hadn't been preparing for a day or two, and in the days when the team was on vacation, he completely locked himself at home to study Leeds United, and even repeatedly rejected the suggestions of Robin and others to invite him out in style.
I forgot to call twice a day.
Unlike Watford's three opponents, Leeds United's opponents in the first three games were not weak, Everton, Villa, and Myburgh were all mid-table teams in the Premier League, and they did not withstand Leeds United's strong attack.
However, Lynn also knows how arrogant Leeds are and they don't take Watford seriously at all, and David O'Reilly, although very particular, also has a strong intention to win to get Leeds to the top.
And Leeds United fans also claim that it is a bit embarrassing to compete with Watford for the first place in the league, and their opinion has been agreed by many people, indeed, compared with Watford, Leeds United is a bit of a bully.
The victory was already in their pockets, and Watford's opinion was not taken into account at all.
Leeds United have that confidence.
They want Leeds United to make Leeds United even more dazzling at the top of the table with a big win!
However, Lynn wanted to see if Leeds United's teeth were that good.
Putting aside those thoughts in his mind, Lynn turned his gaze to his players, before coming, he had already arranged today's tactics in the tactical meeting, at this time, he didn't want to repeat anything, the players all knew, there was no need to waste words.
'They're good, very few people are out of the way at Ain Road, again, nobody thinks we can, you know, we're lucky, the whole of England understands us, it's normal for us to lose, it's understandable how much we lose, Leeds are going to fight for the title, and we're going to relegation, it's not a notch'
Lynn didn't finish his words, but paused, he looked at his players, and everyone was listening to him.
"But! As any of you remember, I said, Watford are not here for relegation! Who remembers? Tell me! Lynn's voice suddenly rose an octave, almost growling.
"Yes, Chief, we remember!" Captain Abshien replied loudly as he stood up.
Lynn nodded, motioned for Abel Sheen to sit down, and pointed outside, "In my eyes, there are no strong teams, only eleven players like you want to compete with you to win a game, and you, too, are eleven people on the field!" ”
'Everybody says they're geniuses and I'll admit that the Leeds players are good, but I want to tell you that I think you're a better talent than them! Better than them! ”
"Go out and prove to me that Lynn John is always right!"
