Recently, Brighton coach Hulzer was interviewed by "TA", and he talked about how to adapt to the Premier League and his views on the transfer of key players to the team.
How to adapt to Premier League life? How is English-German football different?
"Every Premier League game is a big event, you get a lot of attention, feel this energy, pressure and the emotions of the audience. You are very close to them, so you will be very excited in 90 minutes. Of course, I have experienced a similar situation in Germany, but everything here is bigger, more challenging and more attention."
"I remember feeling this atmosphere in the player channel when I first played against Everton last season. When I walked into the first 20 minutes of the stadium... ...(Take a deep breath) I think, what the hell is going on here? It was a tough experience. "
" Then at Liverpool, they turned the game around in the last 10 minutes. That time was very tense and challenging, and it was hard to interrupt their pace. But we also had positive moments and successfully reversed the game. That's why we love the Premier League, have good experiences and bad experiences. "
The team lost Joao Pedro in the summer transfer window, what does that mean to you? The outside world believes that the continuous sale of the best players will eventually have a negative impact on the club. What do you think? "When a club does something special, there is always a lot of talk. We are proud of the way we work, and we are not the only club that sells top players. This kind of thing will happen to larger teams and clubs. The most important thing for me is that we always try to replace these players with young players with potential."
"Secondly, the club also showed that they were able to retain good players. The Riyadh victory this January made a high offer for Sansatsu, and this transfer window also had teams interested in Van Heck, but the club showed that they could retain the best players."
"We know how to work here, know the way Brighton, we always try to get players to the best and strive for success. I think we've proved that last season. Of course, we hope to continue improving now. We have high expectations for ourselves and hope to achieve more, I think through our signings, we haven't gotten worse, and now we need to prove that."
As a young coach, you've made a lot of progress in a short period of time, how confident are you in your personal development? "I'm very ambitious, and I always try to improve myself in my heart, never satisfied with the status quo. Although it's not always a good feeling, it's part of me. I always think about how to work with players, how to manage the team, how to make everything work smoothly. It's a constant thinking, the only way to reflect on and improve and the only way to improve the team and support the team."
"I'm not too focused on the future, only on the behavior of every day, because it's the only thing I can influence. I try to support my team and work hard to improve them every day. Through daily behavior, I think you can show your ambitions, not just talk about it."
