Brighton’s Hurzeler emotional – not euphoric – after beating Man Utd<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/header>\n

\n

Emotional, but not euphoric.<\/b><\/p>\n

Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler chose his words carefully after Joao Pedro had given his side a dramatic 2-1 win against Manchester United at Amex Stadium.<\/p>\n

Euphoria was certainly a word to encapsulate the noise that greeted the final whistle even though, with five victories in the past six meetings against United, beating them has become routine.<\/p>\n

Maybe it was starting the season with successive victories, although Brighton did that last term as well.<\/p>\n

Quite possibly it was that, again, they have found a manager who can continue the club’s forward momentum, which has taken them to places their supporters could never have dreamed of two decades ago.<\/p>\n

“It was emotional,” said Hurzeler. “It always is when you get a win in the last minute and my team deserved to win.<\/p>\n

“It is difficult to describe emotions. That is why I love the job. You can’t buy these emotions and you won’t get them from anywhere else.<\/p>\n

“But we have to be honest, if United score it would be very difficult for us. I am realistic, never euphoric, because if you are euphoric it means you lose the focus on the realistic things.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That seems a roundabout way of Hurzeler saying he keeps his feet on the ground.<\/p>\n

There was an element of luck about Brighton’s win in the sense that, on a sodden surface, Joshua Zirkzee could do nothing to halt his slide towards goal after he had failed to turn home Bruno Fernandes’ 72nd-minute cross, and was unfortunate enough not to have passed the line when Alejandro Garnacho’s shot hit him – leading to the goal being disallowed for offside.<\/p>\n

Yet there is a smoothness about the transition from Roberto de Zerbi to Hurzeler that offers a strong hint Brighton got it right by naming the 31-year-old former St Pauli coach as the Italian’s successor in the summer.<\/p>\n

Hammering Everton at Goodison Park and beating Manchester United at home is a pleasing way to start the campaign. Pleasing, but not surprising.<\/p>\n

“No,” said Hurzeler. “It is not surprise. There are some great characters here. It is a community and like a family. Everyone is buying into it.<\/p>\n

“My job is about building on the foundations of the last three years, because the success the club has had in that time is massive. <\/p>\n

“That is why I didn’t change a lot of things. I am just trying to integrate with my team and give the club the success they deserve.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Welbeck is ‘a role model’<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

When he was appointed earlier in the summer, much was made of Hurzeler\u2019s age and the fact a number of his key players are older than him.<\/p>\n

Welbeck, 33, is one.<\/p>\n

The former England forward signed a new contract in the summer and, with Evan Ferguson being nursed back to full fitness after his recent ankle injury and \u00a340m new-boy Georginio Rutter being given time to adjust after finally completing his move from Leeds, Welbeck is a key figure on and off the pitch.<\/p>\n

Welbeck scored his 100th career goal at club level – and fifth in the Premier League against his former club – when he turned home Kaoru Mitoma’s first-half cross, and also planted a firm second-half header against the crossbar.<\/p>\n

That, clearly, represents his on-pitch impact. The off-pitch is more subtle.<\/p>\n

“Danny is a role model,” said Hurzeler. “I can learn from him because he has the experience I didn’t have as a player.<\/p>\n

“He is a connector. He pays attention in the locker room. I had some talks with him, he shares his opinion. It is enjoyable to work with him.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Transfer business<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

Hurzeler knows success in football can be transient and – after the high of this victory – there is the little matter of a Sussex derby with Crawley in the EFL Cup on Tuesday to offer a rather large banana skin Brighton need to avoid standing on.<\/p>\n

A trip to Arsenal follows, which will really test the longevity of the “we are top of the league” song bellowed by the Brighton supporters at the final whistle – which Hurzeler joked he did not understand.<\/p>\n

As the trip to Emirates comes the day after the transfer window closes, Hurzeler will also know at that point the exact make-up of his squad.<\/p>\n

Celtic midfielder Matt O’Riley is due to complete his \u00a325m switch this weekend, joining the list of signings, including Rutter whose debut consisted of seven – albeit key – minutes off the bench, who are being eased into their new surroundings.<\/p>\n

O’Riley’s arrival is supposed to signify the departure of Scotland midfielder Billy Gilmour, who shrugged off speculation about a move to Serie A outfit Napoli to turn in a man-of-the-match performance.<\/p>\n

Behind the scenes, Hurzeler has offered his view of Gilmour’s situation. He is wise enough to avoid making it public.<\/p>\n

“He knows my thoughts,” said the Brighton boss. “I am very transparent. But I don’t talk about these situations in public.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
