Roberto De Zerbi: It’s a great day for Brighton
Brighton head coach Roberto De Zerbi talks about victory over Ajax in yesterday's Europa League match.
"We didn’t expect Ajax to set up tactically how they did. They defended with two centre-backs and we didn’t have much time to understand the space. In the first half we didn’t play badly with Pascal Gross, Simon Adingra and Joel Veltman combining well. In the second half, we understood better the space and we played through central areas."
"We scored the first goal after a lot of passes. We have to improve to move the ball faster, to play with fewer touches for every player, we have to work on this. However, it’s our first victory in Europe for Brighton. It’s a great day for our fans, for our club, for our owner, and we’re very proud to give them this experience."
