Brighton head coach Roberto De Zerbi will keep true to his imaginative and prescient as he appears to be like to get the Seagulls again on the aim path as they put together to face Manchester City.
Since scoring 3 times to draw at Liverpool in his first match in cost after taking up from Graham Potter, De Zerbi’s aspect have failed to discover the web in three video games.
Despite drawing blanks, the Seagulls have registered 54 makes an attempt at aim throughout their mini drought, which continued with a 0-0 draw at residence in opposition to strugglers Nottingham Forest.
Leandro Trossard, who scored a hat-trick at Anfield, struck the crossbar within the first half in opposition to Forest and instructed afterwards Brighton had been maybe in need of perception within the last third.
Former Sassuolo and Shakhtar Donetsk boss De Zerbi, although, stays assured the targets will come.
“We have to improve in the last 20 metres, but I don’t want this to become just the one (only) problem,” the Italian mentioned.
“We have showed good quality of play, in the last two games we had chances to score. We have to continue to play with this quality. We have not to forget our way and our style.
“We cannot change our idea depending only on the result. We have to follow our idea, our way and maybe when we find one goal more, we can change the season.
“I don’t want to change too much because I like the players and this style of play without the ball. With the ball, I am working to change some things, I am thinking about the positions on the pitch.
“But it is difficult to speak about these four games, because I have my vision.”
De Zerbi informed a press convention: “We have taken only two points, I don’t want to speak too much about whether we were unlucky or not, but if we speak about the quality of the game, I am very happy.
“It is difficult to listen to a coach say he is happy when I didn’t win, but it is like this. The most important thing for everybody is the result, but one coach can choose the way to arrive to the result, that can be totally different.
“It is not a very nice moment for us in terms of the result, but in these moments you have to be focused on your style. If we play with the same quality of the last games, I am sure the result can arrive.”
A visit to the Etihad Stadium is probably not the most effective place to look to rediscover your scoring contact.
Despite the calibre of the opposition, De Zerbi believes his aspect needs to be assured of manufacturing the required efficiency.
“For me, they are the best team in the Premier League and one of the best in Europe,” the Seagulls boss mentioned.
“You have to defend with maximum concentration and be focused in the duels, but you also have to try to attack.
“For sure we will try to play with the same mentality. After I don’t know the result – but we will leave Brighton to play the same style.”
