The manager of Manchester City, Pep Guardiola, had only words of praise for his colleague, Roberto de Zerbi, and the things he is currently doing. The Italian came to Brighton after Potter decided to accept Chelsea's offer.
De Zerbi has done great things in a short time, and Brighton has become a respectable team that everyone is afraid of. Manchester City will play against Brighton in a 37-round match. "There is no team playing the way they play - it's unique,” -Guardiola said of De Zerbi, as quoted by eurosport.com
"I had the feeling when he arrived the impact he would have in the Premier League would be great - I didn't expect him to do it in this short space of time.
He creates 20 or 25 chances per game, better by far than most opponents.
He monopolises the ball in a way it hasn't been for a long time.
They deserve completely the success they have."
Pep Guardiola on Brighton and its system
Spanish expert emphasized that Brighton has a special system. You have to give your best against them, otherwise, a punishment could follow.
“If you don’t play at a high level, he can do whatever he wants against you,” -added Guardiola.
“They completely deserve the compliments and the success that they have. It’s one of the teams that I try to learn a lot from, it’s unique.
It’s going to be an incredible challenge for us ahead of the two finals [the Champions League final and FA Cup final]”.
Roberto de Zerbi built a special system in which he thought of every detail. “Brighton is a master of passing the ball to a man who is free, but also knowing when to pass the ball.
They know how to move at the right time.
They have the right tempo to pass to the man free.
How aggressive they are with the ball they continued from Graham Potter because I think he installed something really good”.
