Chapter 592

"This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. What will work?"

"I think you just want to take advantage of this opportunity to usurp my position as head coach!"

"We just played defensively, that was the only way we had any chance of escaping Liverpool."

"Look at the previous games between Liverpool and so many teams. Some played offensively, some played counterattacks, and some even played high pressure against Liverpool. In the end, without exception, all of them were driven back home by Liverpool!"

"We are lucky because we are behind these ignorant teams, so we have to learn from it."

"We absolutely cannot use conventional tactics anymore, because that won't work against Liverpool!"

In preparation for the FA Cup semi-final, the Watford head coach and his assistant coaching team had an argument. Everyone was working hard to prepare for Liverpool, but their tactical ideas were not the same.

"Boss, I understand your concerns, but we can really change our thinking."

"It's impossible to drag the game into a penalty shootout. When we start defending from the first minute of the game, we can't defend for the whole 90 minutes."

"Who can guarantee that they will not make any defensive mistakes in 90 minutes?"

"If Liverpool scores the first goal and we don't make tactical arrangements before the game, we will definitely be defeated next!"

The discussion was very heated, and finally the head coach decided to have an ice cream to calm down, even though it was only April.

While eating the ice cream cone, the Watford head coach looked at the shape of the ice cream, and he suddenly seemed to have an epiphany. Then the Watford coaching team began a new round of research on tactics!

A spiral formation similar to an inexplicable strip-like object is emerging in the mind of Watford coach!

Liverpool reached the FA Cup semi-finals, where they faced Watford in the semi-finals.

Watford has put in a lot of effort to get to where they are today. In the last round of knockouts, Watford luckily defeated Tottenham 3-2 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals. For Watford, which has invested very little, this is already a very rare achievement!

But even though Watford performed so well, no one thought they could beat Liverpool.

"It would take an ant to lift me up out of thin air if I wanted Watford to beat Liverpool."

"No chance, Watford won't have any chance at all!"

"Well, if anyone is more optimistic about Watford at this time, I will definitely believe that you are their die-hard fan, a particularly die-hard fan."

Klopp is preparing more seriously because his team is stronger. He needs the team to bring out all its strength.

It is still about driving away the pressure and combining it with other tactics. Since Watford's defense may not have the ability to form quickly, Liverpool will combine it with a multi-player offensive routine.

Klopp wants to get more players involved in the offense in order to suppress Watford.

Time quickly came to April 4, the day of the FA Cup semi-final. Wembley Stadium was still the venue for the FA Cup semi-final.

The fans entered the stadium happily, ready to watch the semi-final, and the big screen above the stadium began to show Watford's starting lineup.

When it was revealed that the goalkeeper was Gomez, the atmosphere was relatively normal. Plus, the four defenders were Holevas, Cathcart, Mariappa and Femenia, so there was no problem at all.

Two defensive midfielders came on the field, Capoue and Doucoure, and there was no problem. It was a very normal lineup combination.

But then, when a front midfielder and a shadow striker appeared, Pereira partnered with Wilhus, the fans at the scene began to feel strange.

Then the combination of two center forwards appeared, Gray and Deeney, officially determined Watford's formation for this game!
