In the third round of the League Cup, Brighton beat Wolves 3-2 at home. Seagulls coach Schurzeller was interviewed by the media after the game and talked about the problems of the team.
I wouldn't say that I asked him to shoot more, it's more about the position of the players and how the team presses the opponent, about how you defend and then counterattack. If you have a good position, you will get into these situations, you will get more space, win the confrontation, and then you will have a chance to shoot.
We played very well in the first half until the 44th minute, which was a ball we should never lose because it happened in an attack-defense transition and we reacted too slowly.
This is something we can't accept, it doesn't fit our style of play. We must learn from these moments quickly because we can't make such mistakes again, it won't help you win the game. We made stupid mistakes and we didn't do it as cleanly as in the first half.
In the end, the result of the game is the most important, but I often don't judge teams by the results, but by their performance. Today was more of a learning game for all of us, to learn how to manage a game, what you need to do to win a game like this.
We didn't dominate, especially at the end of the game, we didn't control the tempo like we should have. Of course, you need the result, but on the other hand, I always focus on the process, we still have a lot to improve, and I hope the players learn from their mistakes.
Everyone makes mistakes, the most important thing is to learn from these mistakes and not make the same mistakes again, I value this a lot, the players have to work hard every day to improve. At the moment I am very happy with the attitude of the players, they know that we still have a lot to improve, but it is a gradual process.
I am not only happy for the performance of the substitutes, but also for the players who got some playing time in this game, especially Estupiñán, who was absent for a long time, and Weifer, who returned from injury, you can see that they need game time to get back in shape. But most importantly, we had some great individual performances.
Simon (Adingela) played well, he has the ability to start every game in the Premier League, but we have a lot of competition for the winger position. I am very happy with his performance today. He played very well, integrated into the team, swam in the dark. For the Premier League games, he doesn't always start, but when we need him, he is always there. I am sure he will help us in the future.
This shows his defensive attitude. Everyone has the responsibility to defend, defend until the last minute, do everything to not lose the ball, which is what Jack Hinshelwood did in that situation.
We saw how good he was in some attacks, he had some shots in the first half and worked hard without the ball. Of course, he is not at the level he wants to be, not at his personal best.
We will try to get him back to his best level. He needs to keep training. He needs to use every training session to recover as much as possible. I am sure he will help the team.
