Roberto De Zerbi stressed the importance of changing the mood at Brighton after they beat Ajax 2-0 at the Amex Stadium to claim a first European victory mobile
It ended a run of five games without a win as the club have struggled with injuries during their debut Europa League campaign, though their European hopes were firmly revived here with a comprehensive triumph over the four-time European champions mobile
From the first minute Brighton outclassed a poor Ajax side, who just three days after sacking manager Maurice Steijn amidst the club’s worst-ever start to an Eredivisie season, barely mustered an attack mobile
Joao Pedro tapped in on the rebound after Karou Mitoma’s shot had been parried, breaking the deadlock minutes before half-time and handing Brighton a deserved lead mobile
The advantage was doubled eight minutes after the break when on-loan Barcelona forward Ansu Fati took a brilliant first touch to come inside his defender and rolled the ball into the corner after being set up by Simon Adingra mobile
It was a first win in three attempts on the team’s debut European campaign, lifting them to third in Group B and to within a point of leaders Marseille with whom they drew in France three weeks ago mobile
The focus today has been the first win in European competition for Brighton, for our fans, for our club, for our owner and for ourselvesRoberto De ZerbiA win in the return against Ajax in Amsterdam in November will put them in a commanding position to qualify for the knockout rounds ahead of their final two group games mobile
“The focus today has been the first win in European competition for Brighton, for our fans, for our club, for our owner and for ourselves,” said De Zerbi mobile
“We didn’t deserve to lose against AEK (Athens), and today we wanted 150 per cent the victory mobile
“We played a great game with high quality mobile
We could score more goals, but the most important thing is we didn’t concede and we closed the game with a clean sheet mobile
“For us in this moment, it’s important to change the mood, to start winning games, to start to play mobile better because we (have not been) playing like last season mobile
”The manager praised the contributions of his two goalscorers, with Pedro out in front as the team’s leading European scorer with four goals in three games, whilst Fati also continued his adaption to life in England after moving from La Liga mobile
“Both are great players, (but) I think both can play mobile better,” said De Zerbi mobile
“We are helping a lot Ansu because he didn’t play so many games last year, for him he’s started a new mobile football life mobile
He’s an incredible player, Joao Pedro as well mobile
“They’re very young, we have to help them to progress, but they have to help themselves first of all, working hard during the week, and during the game mobile
But they are both incredible players mobile
”De Zerbi also reflected on the difficulty of balancing a hectic schedule after Solly March and Danny Welbeck joined a lengthy injury list following Saturday’s loss to Manchester City mobile
He added: “The level of difficulty is more or less the same (mobile between the Premier League and Europa League), but it’s tougher this season because after 48, 72 hours we have another important game against Fulham mobile
“This is the challenge that is most difficult for us mobile
We have to accept the honour, because we made history for our club mobile
“It’s unbelievable and it’s proud for us to be part of this history, but in the same way we have to fight and to adapt, be ready to fight and enjoy and make happy our fans mobile
Playing in Europe for Brighton is a big, big thing mobile
