Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler downplayed aspirations for European football despite an upward trend in the Premier League standings. Following a victory against Southampton, Brighton is closing in on Bournemouth who they face next. Hurzeler stressed the importance of maintaining momentum and the development of young players while avoiding table fixation. He acknowledged Bournemouth's surprising strength this season, noting the unpredictability in preparing for them. The team's current focus remains on performance and internal goals rather than external ambitions for Europe at this stage of the season.
"When you win games, there is always a good atmosphere. We are grateful it's like this but it's hard work. We need to keep the momentum and understand why we have this momentum."
"I never look too much at the table. You can only influence how you play. At the end of the season, you can look at the table. But at the moment, it's game by game and trying to get the best performance out of the players."
"The key thing at this club is developing young players and the group. We had a lot of new signings when we started. Now it's about having internal goals on where we want to go."
