I was at the Watford training ground last week and was fortunate to get some time with one of the coaching staff, Camilo Speranza.

Head coach Paulo Pezzolano is still learning English so to get a flavour of what Hornets fans can expect from him this season I spoke to Speranza about philosophy, tactics, shape and structure.

Speranza worked with Pezzolano at his previous club Real Valladolid in Spain and is now one of the key analysis coaches at Watford.

Before Valladolid, Speranza was at Barcelona. He knows his stuff.

I admit to being a coaching/tactics geek so was absolutely fascinated by this insight.
