Watford wing-back Jose Holebas has slammed the atmosphere at Premier League grounds.

Compared to the feverish, explosive Greek fans - and those in Germany and Italy where he has also played – Holebas claims the noise English crowds generate is non-existent.

Holebas' claims come ahead of Watford's FA Cup semi-final against Wolves this afternoon.

The Hornets star, 34, who won the Greek Cup in 2012 and 2013, said: “In Greece, they live football in a different way than England. I see sometimes the stadiums here are really very quiet, to be honest.

“But in Greece it's different. In some stadiums, especially at the big clubs, you cannot even hear your own voice, it's so loud. Football is life."
