One of the biggest revelations this season is the rise of a much underestimated Watford side. With the likes of Jose Holebas, Troy Deeney and Roberto Pereyra leaving their mark on the footballing world, the Hornets have delivered the most spectacular element of the sport, – something that not even the top teams had expected. Of course, none of this came out from nothing; regular planning, pre-season friendlies, tactical reshuffling and many other important considerations have contributed to their success.
By defeating Tottenham Hotspur, Watford has now made themselves a team that one needs to be careful of. But what has Javi Garcia truly done to his team? What has he changed and what has he kept? What is the reason behind their most successful Premier League result?
Javi Garcia is a very experienced manager, having played more than 300 games in the Spanish league. Laying down some of the most unorthodox forms of tactical necessities, the Spaniard has revolutionised the new form of football in the Premier League.
Playing an unusual 4-2-2-2 formations in a league like the EPL was considered by many as a ‘gamble’, however, the bid worked well for Garcia, as Watford currently stand third in the league.
