In the 11th round of the Premier League, Erling Haaland’s goal was not enough to save Manchester City as Pedro and Oli scored two goals within five minutes, leading Brighton to a 2-1 home comeback victory over Manchester City. After the match, Brighton manager Fabian Huseer spoke to the media.
Huseer said, “I’ve had many great moments at my previous clubs, so I wouldn’t say this is my greatest career victory—though it was an important one. Last week, we talked about performing well against Liverpool but not getting the result we wanted. Today, we got the result, so I’m very happy.”
“At halftime, I told the players to be more patient with the ball and not let Manchester City sit back and defend. In the first half, we played too many long balls and made too many mistakes. The substitutes were crucial for us; they made a difference, and having such players in your squad can really help.”
“Carlos Balaba? Every substitute who came on had an impact on the game. Of course, you can see that Carlos has made significant progress. He brings a different style and set of qualities, and sometimes you need those qualities to regain control of the game.”
“Oli? Part of it is due to the effort he put in to come back. Many players might have been negative, but he remained very positive. I’m glad he got the reward he deserved.”
“Brighton fans? Getting support from the fans is very important. They are our 12th man. We must make the Amex Stadium our fortress. The support from the fans makes it harder for other teams to play here. They are the most important people, and we need to make them happy.”
