Chapter 675: Business experience of the Pozo family
An away loss to West Ham United was a huge influence on Liverpool's pursuit of the standings.
The Premier League has always had a poisonous New Year's schedule. In the continuous battle, there will be unpopular spells, but it still happened.
Liverpool's three-game winning streak in the Premier League was suspended, while other teams also played 3 games 8 days after Christmas and entered a rare trimming period. Liverpool had to work hard to prepare for 3 days later. Premier League make-up.
Watford, who was also dragged down by the Liverpool Club World Cup, wanted to join him in the fourth game of such a brutal and inhumane 12 days.
Liverpool's three consecutive away games, an away challenge to Watford, who ranked eighth in the standings.
As a team under the control of the Pozzo family in Italy, Watford, Udinese, and Granada in La Liga are all tools for the Pozzo family to earn family wealth.
The Pozzo family was originally based on Udinese, the "black shop" in Serie A, and was not satisfied with the pure income of sellers. They began to borrow chickens to lay eggs and create wealth in another way.
Udinese’s background allowed them to directly use the loan method after acquiring Watford, who was in the British Championship at the time, to loan a large number of powerful players from the "black chicken" lineup to the British Championship and help Watford. Germany was successfully promoted.
And in the same way in La Liga, Granada sometimes comes back one summer off-season, and fans will find that the team is full of unfamiliar newcomers.
At the beginning, Udinese madly loaned 14 people to Watford to help him surpass him. For this reason, he directly forced the FA to make a rule change and began to limit the number of loaners for a team each season.
Nowadays, Udinese, Watford, and Granada are in the top league at the same time, especially the huge income of the Premier League, so that the Pozo family relies on the football industry to gain a lot.
Although there is a limit on the number of people on loan, for several teams in the same top league, it is still possible for the teams to communicate with each other and arrange appropriate personnel. From the beginning, Serie A’s Udinese was the main team. Nowadays, with Watford's income in the Premier League and greater profits, it is the Pozo family that has made Watford's seat in the Premier League more fancy.
Countless resources have been tilted to Watford. On the basis of relegation, to sell more people and make more money is the business experience of the Pozo family.
This year's Watford has a fairly obvious tendency to international column, and even the coach is a little bit cruel. It is entirely possible to line up a starting lineup of 11 national players on the field.
This is all thanks to Udinese’s crazy support before.
Of course, Mazzari will not be as stubborn as the fans petitioned, ranking the starting players of 11 different countries, he will only send suitable players according to the strength of the team.
Well, 11 starters, from 9 countries, no problem.
In addition to the three native English players, the other players are from Europe, South America, and Africa, which fully demonstrates the Pozo family’s strong global scouting capabilities and the ability to cultivate talents.
The self-produced and self-sold model allows the young players to level up in Serie A and La Liga, then come to Watford to further their worth, and then sell them to other teams at a high price.
Before the match, Liverpool also suffered injuries during training. Mignole suddenly suffered a strain, which caused Klopp to use the team’s second goalkeeper Bogdan when he could not recover quickly.
Although Klopp always complains about Mignole’s ability to attack, he has to admit that Mignole’s handling of the ball on the goal line is absolutely world-class, compared to ordinary goalkeepers like Bogdan. Still much stronger.
In this game, Mignolet's absence gave Liverpool's defense a considerable test.
You must know that Watford's "Black Wind Shuangsha" combat effectiveness was already very strong.
The combination of Dini and Ighalo, Dini is brave, Ighalo's speed and technical ability are very good.
This pair of strikers, although they are not too famous players, but in Yang Feng's cognition, they are definitely the top strikers in the Premier League today.
Although he may not be like a top striker, he has all-round technical ability and has no skills to involve and pass the ball.
But the two people's one-foot shooting, the finishing ability in front of the goal is still very good.
Yang Feng knows even more that Ighalo in the future will transfer to the Chinese Super League and will kill the Quartet in the league. He is completely a striker in T1 gear. However, some of his teammates are not good enough. "As a result, after Ighalo's sudden injury, the team was unable to find a victory, and was overtaken by a group of weak teams. As a result, he was demoted. I can only say nozuonodie.
Dini is even more of Watford's banner character. Even though he may be in a bad state during the game, he can motivate his teammates to work hard and show the attitude of the game even if he is on the court. When facing some giant teams, Dini's hard work in the game can fully drive his teammates to perform better and achieve better offensive performance in the game.
In this atmosphere, for Liverpool, this away game is actually not that easy to play.
And as far as the player configuration is concerned, Watford and West Ham are actually similar in player configuration.
This kind of mid-range team prefers to use traditional "black and hard" players, and use these players with better running ability and physical confrontation ability to play offensive effects.
just suffered from West Ham United, for Liverpool, for this game, there is still considerable vigilance.
Except for the goalkeeper's Minholet, the rest of the players are all the main players before.
As a result, Liverpool was hit hard just after the game started.
In the case of Liverpool's unsuccessful attack, the home team counterattacked directly close to the wing.
The extremely impactful Watford wing, although this time the pass in the counter-attack ~lightnovelpub.net~ was first completed by Yang Feng.
But Yang Feng can only be assured of his insights and surround the bottom line, and he still gave his opponent a chance for a corner kick.
As a team with a slightly rough offensive method, set-piece is the opportunity Watford is best at taking advantage of.
Abdi took this corner kick on the left. The corner kick went out very fast, and it turned directly towards the goal.
Everyone rushed forward and came to the goal to compete for the top, but the pass was still slightly higher, more suitable for the goalkeeper to catch the ball.
Bogdan took two steps outside, took off with all his strength, and indeed got the high ball first.
"Stable!"
"Ok?"
Yang Feng watched Bogdan's attack, and thought that Bogdan should be stable after the ball was picked, but there was a sudden change in the field.
In the process of holding the ball in his arms, Bogdan lost his balance slightly due to the unstable soles of his feet after landing.
Although he tried to stabilize his figure with both hands holding the ball, the ball was exposed.
The Watford midfielder Ake, who was in front of the goal, directly raised his leg and exposed Bogdan's hands. Some of the **** with insufficient control were kicked directly.
Then Ak was directly in front of the goal, a forward pounce, and the ball hit the net.
"This goal is scored!"
"Didn't you hit the goalkeeper?"
"The referee indicated that there was no problem, and Watford took the lead in the opening 3 minutes."
Yang Feng is a little depressed, is this a goalkeeper gift?
