The content discusses the upcoming match between Watford andHuddersfield Town, which is scheduled to take place at Vicarage Road. The managers of the two teams, Xisco Munoz and Daniel Farke, are set to meet professionally for the first time. Both managers have had similar careers, with experience as players and coaches in Germany. They have also led sides to the Championship play-offs, with Ismael falling short with Barnsley in 2021. Despite an unsuccessful stint at West Brom, the Hornets are setting the ex-Bayern Munich defender the same task as Wagner, which is to get his club back to the Premier League.
Wagner is now trying to build on recent league wins over Cardiff and QPR, aiming to halt a downward spiral for Huddersfield Town. The City chief commented on how Wagner has adapted his style as he faces the challenge of leading his team in the upcoming match. Watford have been performing well, with a six-game unbeaten streak before conceding two late goals at Championship leaders Leicester. However, despite their loss against Leicester, the focus for Wagner and his team is to remain focused on themselves and their own performance.
According to Wagner, Watford poses a challenge with their individual quality, an aerial threat in the box, and decent speed with their wingers and full-backs. He emphasizes the need for the players to receive the right information and to maintain the right mindset in both ball possession and defense. The players need to demonstrate the same aggression and short distances that they have shown in previous games in order to secure a positive result. Wagner and his team are excited for the challenge against a strong opponent and aim to continue their winning streak to showcase their capabilities.
