Valerien Ismael, the manager of Watford, is calling on his struggling players to step up as they brace themselves for the visit of Leicester City. Ismael acknowledged that his team is feeling fatigued and lacking their usual energy, especially after their recent loss to Southampton in the FA Cup. With only two wins in their last ten matches, Watford faces the formidable challenge of facing Leicester City, who are coming off a big win against Stoke City.
Ismael emphasized the importance of unity and hard work in the face of adversity as they prepare to take on a possession-dominant Leicester side. He stressed the need for his players to adapt their mindset and focus on doing the basics right, especially when facing tough opponents. Despite their recent struggles, Watford remains in contention for a play-off spot this season.
Meanwhile, Leicester City’s Patson Daka highlighted the importance of approaching the game with a different mentality and being prepared for a tough fight. He emphasized the need for maximum points in order to achieve their goals for the season and emphasized the crucial nature of the upcoming games in the second half of the season.
