During his pre-match press conference, Fabian Hürzeler had warm words for Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Brighton & Hove Albion’s manager feels Wolves have demonstrated the potential to win points in every game this season.
Hürzeler has monitored Wanderers’ performances in preparation for this weekend’s match, and he feels they have been competitive. Although the Old Gold are now at the bottom of the Premier League with only one point from 24 available, Hürzeler remains cautious.
“They play well, and in every game they have had the opportunity to win or tie. “We will not underestimate them because they have quality and defend very compactly,” Hürzeler told reporters on Thursday.
“They have the individual players to make strong transitions: Semedo, Ait-Nouri, and Cunha. Lemina is a good ball carrier, while Strand Larsen is a solid target player. One thing you cannot do, especially in the Premier League, is underestimate any opponent.
“You must pay attention for 90 minutes, be adept at counter-pressing, and take the next step as a team. It will be a huge challenge, and we must prepare with all of our mind and ideas.” Hürzeler continued.
Brighton, fifth in the Premier League with four victories, three draws, and one defeat, appear to be in European contention this season. Nonetheless, their boss has high regard for Wolves and believes Gary O’Neil’s side will put up a good fight.
A recent Carabao Cup match at the American Express Stadium demonstrated the team’s unwavering drive. Wanderers lost 3-2, but their second-half performance was fantastic. More of it this time, and Wolves may create an upset.
