Fabian Hurzeler claims that Newcastle United and Brighton & Hove Albion are comparable in terms of ambition.
In his first trip to St. James’ Park, the 31-year-old head coach is taking a bold risk by winning, and he is bringing his Brighton club here fresh off a fantastic performance against Tottenham Hotspur. Just before the international break, his squad moved up to sixth place at the Amex Stadium, surpassing Newcastle. The victory score was 3-2.
He led St Pauli to promotion to the German Bundesliga, and now he is aiming high for goals with the Seagulls. Hurzeler stated prior to the trip to Tyneside: “I think Newcastle is a huge club and they want to achieve great things. We want to achieve great things as well. We attempt to move forward and don’t try to hide from anyone.
We strive to behave and play courageously, which is why we also strive to go there and win the game. Yet Newcastle is a sizable team. We are facing a significant task, which I am eager to take on and am interested in seeing if we can overcome.”
Newcastle, nevertheless, enters the match fresh off a 12-game, all-competitive winning streak at St James’ since January. Oscar Bobb’s last-gasp goal in stoppage time on January 13 gave Man City a 3-2 victory, making them the last team to win on Gallowgate.
The former player for 1860 Munich and Hoffenheim responded, “I haven’t been, no, but I’m really looking forward to it,” when asked if he had been to St. James’. It’s said to have one of the greatest atmospheres in the Premier League often. However, I believe St. James’ to be the second finest after the Amex. Thus, we are eager to visit that place. Undoubtedly, it will be a formidable task. It’s going to be rough.
It’s critical to maintain composure there. It will be emotional, and I believe that emotions are necessary for a football game, but during the most crucial times, you must maintain composure and think clearly without feeling.
“There will therefore be a blend of emotional intelligence and composure. putting your faith in the player’s abilities, the process, your control over the things you can influence, and the little things. You’ll then start to feel confident in yourself. The Newcastle game will present that difficulty.”
