Hürzeler demands grounded Brighton as champions Arsenal visit Amex
Fabian Hürzeler has told Brighton to stay grounded and return to the fundamentals when Arsenal, the Premier League champions, visit the Amex Stadium on Saturday.
Brighton turn attention to Arsenal
The Albion head coach wants his players to carry belief from their Carabao Cup win at Manchester United without allowing the result to change their approach.
“We have to remain very humble and understand why we are where we are,” Hürzeler said. “It is about getting the basics and the fine details right.”
He added that Brighton cannot treat recent success as a given. “It is hard work again. We have to do the simple things well, then we can grow into the match. We know we are a good football team, and that comes back to belief.”
Old Trafford comeback
- Brighton fell two goals behind at Old Trafford in Wednesday’s Carabao Cup tie.
- The Seagulls fought back to win 3-2, becoming the first side since 1976 to overturn a two-goal deficit and win at Manchester United.
- Substitute Maxim De Cuyper struck the decisive goal in a comeback Brighton fully deserved.
- The result sent Hürzeler’s side into the fourth round, while United and Michael Carrick were left to answer for surrendering their lead.
Next comes another major test against Arsenal, with Hürzeler demanding the same work rate and attention to detail that drove Brighton’s cup recovery.
