Hinshelwood: Brighton’s Self-Belief Continues to Grow**
Speaking post-match, the young star acknowledged the challenge of playing away at City, despite the defending champions not hitting their usual heights this season.
**“Coming to the Etihad is never easy. Even though City haven’t been at their absolute best this season, they remain one of the toughest teams to face, especially on their home turf.”**
Despite the formidable opposition, Hinshelwood emphasized Brighton’s rising confidence, underlining their belief that they can go toe-to-toe with any team in the league.
**“With the momentum we’ve built, we go into every match believing we can come out on top. The fans have been outstanding, and as long as we continue this run, we’ll be a difficult team to stop.”**
Reflecting on the club’s previous European campaign, Hinshelwood expressed the squad’s determination to return to continental competition.
**“Getting a taste of European football last season was a fantastic experience, and as a club, we’re all striving to get back there and enjoy that journey again.”**
Hurzeler: Brighton Were the Better Side and Deserved Victory**
Brighton’s head coach, Fabian Hurzeler, admitted that despite securing a positive result, there was a palpable sense of disappointment among his players, as they felt they had done enough to claim all three points.
**“The mood in the dressing room was one of frustration. We created several big chances, especially in the second half, and in my view, we deserved to win.”**
While pleased with the overall display, Hurzeler stressed the importance of taking lessons from the match and staying focused on the bigger picture.
**“I’m happy with the way we performed. Of course, we have to accept the result, but feeling disappointed shows how ambitious we are. What matters most is that we keep learning from these games and continue improving.”**
As Brighton remain firmly in the fight for European football, their strong performances against top opposition reinforce their credentials as a team determined to secure a place among the Premier League’s elite.
