However, after that game, head coach De Zerbi stated that it solidified his optimism that the Seagulls would qualify for Europe, which they did in a historic first for the club.
Now, with the Eagles set to play on the same field on Thursday night, the Italian is desperate to win in what should be a “hot atmosphere.”
I remember that game vividly because it was the first time we discussed the target after the game. I believe it was a watershed moment for us. “We had never discussed the Europa League or any other European goal,” he explained.
“There was a bad atmosphere in the locker room after the game, and I thought it might be the right time to discover my target, our target.”
There was a nasty atmosphere in the locker room after the game, and I thought it might be the appropriate time to find my target, our target.
“We deserved to win, and I believe everyone remembers the goal that was disallowed.” It’s a different season, a different game, and a different game history.”
“I think the players have played this type of game before,” he added. It’s an honor and a motivator to play in this environment. We want to win away, especially in a derby game; it’s a significant motivator for us and a big reason why we won’t be sleeping tonight (Wednesday).”
