Fabian Schürlzer stated that Brighton maintained their unwavering belief throughout their away game against Manchester United, ultimately completing a comeback and securing the victory. Manchester United took the lead with two goals within the first 10 minutes, but the game gradually shifted, with Brighton controlling the remaining 80 minutes.
After the match, Fabian Schürrle said, "We conceded two goals due to some avoidable mistakes, but even so, the team didn't give up on the original game plan, which is a very positive thing. When you're 0-2 down, it's easy to give up and tell yourself, 'Okay, the game is over,' but we chose to keep believing. We believed in our teammates, we believed in ourselves, and we believed in the pre-match plan, and we always stuck to playing the way we were supposed to. In the end, we fully deserved this victory."
Speaking about the team's performance at the start of the game, Fabian Schürzel said: "I don't think we played that badly at the beginning of the game. We did concede a goal, and goals often have an impact on the game. But overall, our formation was well maintained, our organization on the field was not problematic, and we also showed good attacking coordination."
"At the beginning of the match, we did seem a bit nervous and made quite a few mistakes in our technical execution. However, as the match progressed, the players gradually regained their form, and the initiative on the field began to shift towards us little by little."
"Overall, I think the team maintained the right organization from the start of the game, and the overall style of play was not a big problem. It's just that we made too many unnecessary mistakes, which prevented the team from truly finding its own rhythm. As the game progressed, we gradually improved in executing our tactics and slowly got into the game."
"Towards the final stages of the match, we had completely taken control of the game and created numerous scoring opportunities, making it entirely possible to score another goal. However, I believe the team did exhibit some tension at the start. Of course, not all players had this issue, but some were definitely affected. Therefore, this is something we must seriously analyze and improve upon. Our formation was sound, and our tactical arrangements were correct; it was simply that our execution was inadequate."
Brighton have already scored 13 goals in their first four Premier League matches this season, so it's not surprising that they managed to net three at Old Trafford. Fabian Schürlzer is certainly pleased with the team's continued strong attacking performance, but he didn't overly praise the players' play.
He continued, "Our most important thing is belief, and I've been emphasizing that all along. When you come to a game like this away from home, and you're already down 0-2, you need to be even more steadfast in your belief. You have to believe in your teammates, believe in your own abilities, and believe in the kind of football we want to play."
"In addition, the team must have enough resilience, and our players really showed that today. They remained united throughout. It's normal for players to feel disappointed and frustrated when they are two goals down early in the game. But they did not choose to back down in the face of such difficulties. Instead, they quickly rallied and ultimately completed the comeback in a very impressive way."
