New Watford boss Claudio Ranieri says he wants to see the players play with the "English spirit".
Leicester City's title winning manager wants to prove his doubters wrong and keep the faith of the Pozzo owners.
He said: "I love English football, but I loved it before arriving in England in 2000. My style was very similar, very tough, very strong, and that's what I want from my players.
"I want to see the spirit of England.
"It is like a boxer – some moments you can hit, and some moments you have to stay covered up.
"But I maintain my spirit. Nobody can kill me. I maintain my spirit, my love, my life because sport is fantastic."
He continued: "When Gino Pozzo called me after the Leeds defeat and asked me, Claudio, would you like to come to Watford, come back to the Premier League, I said, 'Why not?' I am very bored if I don't stay in football."
"Sometimes you go up, sometimes you go down. But I never give up, I continue in my way. I have a strong character. I am still young.
"We have to be safe. 40 points. And then, slowly, slowly, go up. The owner is very ambitious, I am more ambitious. I want to achieve something with Watford."
