Sensational wins and outstanding football. The Italian’s first year at Brighton has been special
Roberto De Zerbi has been at Brighton & Hove Albion for a year, and as he marks this Thursday’s first-ever European encounter, he says he is “living the dream” and that everyone can see his impact on the team.
The 44-year-old has assisted in making the Seagulls into one of the finest attacking sides over the past 12 months since taking over as head coach on September 18, 2022.
Saturday’s second goal by Brighton against Man Utd
For me, it’s a dream; it’s crazy,” De Zerbi said on the team’s YouTube account. It has been amazing to work here and achieve the crucial goal.
“This season remains my main focus, but looking back at the first period and comparing it to now, I’m really proud and happy.”
The statistics support the fact that Brighton has developed into one of the Premier League’s most thrilling teams since the Italian took over as manager.
These figures demonstrate why Brighton deserved to finish sixth in 2022–2023, as they achieved some noteworthy results along the way.
De Zerbi believes that his team’s victories over Manchester City and Chelsea were turning points in their recent c.
In terms of the outcomampaigne (winning 4-1), “I think the crucial game was Chelsea,” he remarked. But if we talk about the players’ mindset, their playing style, their attitude and behavior, as well as how they performed in that match (after losing 3-1 the week prior), we can say that Man City was the most significant and critical game.
This year, Brighton will face a new challenge as they compete in the UEFA Europa League. This week, they will host AEK Athens in their first group-stage match. De Zerbi understands he will need to make adjustments but does not anticipate the busier schedule to provide many issues.
“No, I don’t believe it’s harder. However, we must adjust to playing three games back-to-back, three games every week, he stated. “I have to change players wisely, and they have to be prepared to participate in one game but not the next.
“Playing with color and pride and always believing that we can win against anyone is a key component of my approach.
“We want to honor our club, our supporters, and ourselves while winning every game in every competition. Not just this year, but also the following, we want to play in Europe.
