Jose Holebas has urged Watford's fans to create their own yellow wall at Wembley as the defender claimed supporters in England are quieter than elsewhere in Europe.
The 34-year-old has played in Germany, Italy and Greece during his career. He believes fans in Greece 'live football in a different way' to England where Holebas says stands are filled with fathers and sons.
Watford captain Troy Deeney admitted last week that their FA Cup semi-final against Wolves on Sunday did not excite him, saying that it was just another game. It is difficult to imagine Holebas, who twice won the Greek Cup with Olympiakos in 2012 and 2013, feeling the same.

'Every cup in every country means a lot,' said Greece international Holebas. 'We know what we want and what we have to do for it. If you win the Cup you can go to Europe as well. It means a lot for many teams who have got this far now.'
What, then, would Athens be like on the eve of a semi-final for their country's most prestigious cup competition?
