Hurzeler to bring 'courage and intensity'

Fabian Hurzeler says he wants his Brighton side to play with "courage and intensity" and continue the style of former Seagulls boss Roberto de Zerbi.

"Brighton play football with a lot of courage and that's something I want to continue with my team," he told BBC Radio Sussex's Johnny Cantor. "That is part of Brighton.

"I am really looking forward to continuing that style.

"We want to play football with intensity and be a team that nobody wants to play against. It is also important to have a plan with and without the ball.

"The main part will be to play with courage and intensity. They are two values that will be important to us as Brighton's philosophy.

"The analytical and data-based approach to the game is something very special and when you look at the past achievements [of the club] it has been massive.

"I really like looking at and working with data, so it is an approach I like."
