One hundred and twenty-four, on the eve of the decisive battle

In the blink of an eye, the clock is at the end of February, and the League Cup final is approaching.

This period of time is quite intensive, not only the league, but also the FA Cup, the FA Cup Watford decisively chose to give up, Lynn feels greedy and chewy, compared to the League Cup, there are too many variables in the FA Cup, and there are too many energy involved.

Watford have not had a big up-and-down in the league and still maintain fourth place, but the gap between them and the top two is a little bigger, while Leeds United and Ipswich are closer.

Because there is no idea at all in the league, whether it is the experience of the players, or her own experience, Lynn feels that Watford is not ready, not as direct as the League Cup.

February was a watershed moment, with many teams unable to keep up with the pace of Group 1, and the heritage of the giants was also revealed after such a big attrition.

Lynn handled every game with care, sometimes costing a draw at great cost.

The players are just these people, Lynn can only be careful and live carefully, and he has also specially improved his cooperation with Gibson, so that the frequency of physical examinations has been greatly increased.

That's it, and the injury was not avoided, Phillips was injured, and the season was directly reimbursed.

Although it will not affect his career, it will make Lynn's forward line one less sharp knife.

Before the game against Bolton, Lynn gave the whole team another medical examination, and this time the results were satisfactory to Lynn, at least his rotation still seems to be working, and the players are in good physical condition.

"Very good, guys, it seems that you are all healthy, much better than I thought, I thought you would find Kevin alone?"

Everyone smiled knowingly, and the only one who was lonely now was Phillips who was still lying in the hospital bed.

"Although Bolton Wanderers is a League One team, we are not qualified to underestimate the opponents, you must know that they can reach the final to represent their quality, look at the team they have killed along the way, it is really not easy, Arsenal, Villa and so on."

Lynn's words made these players look a little surprised, they knew that Bolton this team had played against each other last season, but they really didn't notice that Bolton had knocked down so many strong teams along the way.

"You can imagine how excited they are at the moment, they must be thinking how great it would be if we could beat Watford and win a title. So, we've got to fight for it, League One beat the Premier League, oh my God, we're famous" Lynn's weird scholar Bolton fans spoke, and no one laughed, Lynn was no joke, they wanted it, the Bolton guys would have said that.

The player's reaction made Lynn very satisfied with the effect of these words, and after a pause, Lynn waved his fist, "I don't care where their Bolton is sacred!" All I know is who's in Watford's tracks, and I'm going to crush them! We are just chasing victory, and whose corpse the victory is built on, I don't care, fuck the League One, fuck the Premier League, I just know, there is a life-and-death opponent in front of me, there can only be one person standing in Zuihou, that person can only be us - Watford! ”

With just over two months to go before the season is over, the first game of March is perhaps the most important game of the season for Watford.

If you want to win a match, even if your opponent is one level lower, it doesn't mean that you can win easily.

Sam Allardyce has made a big difference for Bolton, and he is more of a champion of football as a whole, hoping to tear apart the opposition defence with simple and effective combinations, and get through the midfield quickly, rather than spending energy on the battle for midfield.

This tactic may seem simple and unremarkable, but it is quite a headache for Lynn.

It should be said that Allardyce's tactics are almost transparent, just a few moves, nothing special, what makes Lynn a headache is that Bolton is too skilled in these moves, almost used to the extreme.

If they want to break this pattern, Watford must come up with a strategy, which is to defend and counterattack, and this time it is Watford's turn to make a mistake.

It is conceivable that Sam Allardyce will certainly put Watford in a bucket formation, using the quick counter-attacks they are accustomed to to counter Watford.

"Then smash you with an iron fist!" Lynn smashed a punch on the tactical board, and he decided to destroy his opponent with an all-in-one offensive system.

The opponent will definitely have to take a closer look at Watford's past games, so Lynn decided to surprise the opponent and attack them unprepared.

Even if the two sides fight for strength, Lynn believes that his team is absolutely dominant, and there is no need to pretend to be a grandson.

It is said that it is comfortable to fight on the defensive counterattack, but in fact, Lynn knows how hard it is to deal with the crazy attacks of others in the defensive counterattack, and if he can have the opportunity to turn over and be a fighter, Lynn will definitely not give up this good opportunity.

In the past, there weren't many journalists who would have been willing to come to Watford to watch the training, but now a large number of journalists are quietly pouring in, all of whom want to dig up as much news as they can before the final.

Lynn didn't go out of his way to eliminate the reporters, but gave them 15 minutes to cover the news, allowing them to enter the training ground and interview the players and coaches during breaks in the team's practice.

This makes those journalists who have no hope happy.

It should be said that so far, Watford's previous performances have been surprising, the team has achieved excellent results without being looked at as haode, and it has to be said that it is a miracle that such a team is the most haode interview object for reporters.

Almost every player has reporters around them, and Lynn has the most people in front of him.

"Bolton are a League One team, but they have a good record in League One and have a very good chance of going to the Premier League next season, as an opponent, what do you think of this opponent as a manager?" The implication is that don't look at the other party as a League One team, but they are almost quasi-Premier League teams, so don't treat them as soft persimmons.

Of course Lynn understood, and he never dared to underestimate this Bolton, and even attached great importance to it, but he didn't say so, "Of course, Bolton is a team worthy of respect, my team and I respect the opponent very much, as for the game, in Watford's opinion, it is just an ordinary game, we will not deliberately make this game any different from the previous games, our goal is to beat the opponent, get the win, and lift the trophy." ”

Several reporters looked at each other, what happened to this Lynn, deliberately provoking the opponent? An excuse for Allardyce to mobilize?

Alas, still too young! Even if you think Watford is a super team and the opponent is League One, don't say it so blatantly, can't you be subtle?

As a result, the reporters were stunned and still to come.

'Watford have been missing a trophy with a lot of weight, and I think the League Cup can still be worthy of that honour, so there is no reason why Watford should not win this game'

They don't understand Lynn's mind, he doesn't want to spend any psychological warfare at all, he feels that to the point of the finals, all conspiracies and tricks are floating clouds, when the two sides duel, it is to compete for strength, fight will, and then look at luck!

Instead of going into the heat of psychological warfare, it's better to cheer up your team and show them that your manager is hungry for victory and has plenty of confidence

"Lynn, what can I do? You can bring it up. "Ayrton is the owner of the club, and when it came to such a critical moment, he couldn't sit still anymore, so he quickly found Lynn and provided ammunition.

In this regard, Lynn was happy in his heart, what else could he do, take the money!

There is really not much more for a boss to do than dig into his pockets and promise a championship prize.

After listening to Lynn's request, Ayrton did not hesitate at all, and directly offered a championship bonus of one million pounds, which may not be a lot of money in a big team, but for Watford, it is a huge amount of money.

"Hooray!" Cheers at Watford's training ground!
