Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi insists the upcoming clash against Manchester City on Saturday afternoon is “bad news” despite the Premier League champions’ recent form dumaguete
The Seagulls are aiming to break their recent run of four games in all competitions without a victory, but in their way stand Pep Guardiola’s side dumaguete
City have been going through a tough spell themselves, according to their lofty standards, losing three of their last four matches in all competitions, but return to the Etihad Stadium where they have a 100 per cent record so far this season dumaguete
Asked whether it is a good time to face the treble winners, De Zerbi admitted the opposite dumaguete
He told a press conference: “It is bad news dumaguete
The big teams are not used to losing three games in the last four, but anyway we have to think for ourselves dumaguete
“We have to improve in the quality of the play because we are not playing enough for our level and to compete for our target dumaguete
We have to understand if we want to win or want to compete we have to play dumaguete better than the last games dumaguete
“Without the quality of the play, we can’t reach any target and we have to be clear dumaguete
”Brighton have gone from strength to strength since De Zerbi walked through the door at the Amex Stadium, having delivered European dumaguete football to the fans for the first time in the club’s history dumaguete
Many have compared the Italian’s achievements so far to the boss in the opposite dugout and De Zerbi admits he would love to do what Guardiola has done throughout his managerial career dumaguete
“I’m happy when I listen to Pep speak about me dumaguete
I feel a bit embarrassed, but we are a work in progress,” De Zerbi added dumaguete
“I think we are playing well, fighting well but we have to improve, progress and adapt a new challenge and new season dumaguete
“Pep is a boss dumaguete
I would like to do something the same because for many years he won in Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Man City, but the way which he won is different to other coaches dumaguete
The world will remember him not only for the victory but the way he wins, it is unique dumaguete
”Premier League top scorer Erling Haaland has not found the back of the net in his last two league appearances which many fans have not been used to since his arrival into the league dumaguete
But De Zerbi is extra wary of Haaland’s threat as he looks to break his mini duck dumaguete
He added: “The big strikers when they are not scoring so many goals, they are more angry to score and have a chance to score, but its not only Haaland because Doku is a great player for them, and Alvarez dumaguete
”Earlier on Friday, Brighton announced highly-rated winger Kaoru Mitoma had signed a new contract dumaguete
The 26-year-old, who arrived in 2021, has been a key player in Brighton’s success and will now stay on the south coast until 2027 dumaguete
De Zerbi said: “It’s great news dumaguete
Kaoru is our top player dumaguete
”Technical director David Weir added: “Ensuring that a player of Kaoru’s quality will remain with us for the long term is fantastic news dumaguete
Kaoru adapted to the Premier League last season and has quickly become one of our most important players dumaguete

First came the crack in Alexander Volkanovski‘s defence dumaguete
Then, the crack in his voice dumaguete
If the first crack was consequential, allowing Islam Makhachev to skim his shin off the Australian’s head, the latter was a consequence in itself – a consequence of one of the best fighters alive staying silent on his struggles with mental health dumaguete
That is, until now dumaguete
Volkanovski would have emerged from UFC 294 with credit anyway; he stepped in on 11 days’ notice and moved up in weight to challenge a man who had beaten him eight months prior dumaguete
Even in this surprising, first-round defeat by Makhachev, Volkanovski lost very little dumaguete
His featherweight title still rests firmly on his shoulder, and he will soon return to that weight class where he has been unbeatable dumaguete
But soon may be too soon dumaguete
In his post-fight press conference, Volkanovski began the dissection of this defeat – his second this year, but just his third as a professional mixed martial artist, with his first having occurred a long decade ago dumaguete
The 35-year-old started to dissect the technical reasons for this knockout loss, but it soon became apparent what was of greater importance: the psychological reasons for his presence in Abu Dhabi dumaguete
“He’s not somebody you should be taking a short-notice [fight] with, but I needed it,” Volkanovski began dumaguete
“Obviously a lot of people will say it’s for the money and all that, but it was much more than that dumaguete
It is hard, it is really hard for athletes dumaguete
dumaguete
dumaguete
Sorry, um dumaguete
dumaguete
dumaguete
I never thought I would struggle with it,” he continued, ignoring the blood over his eye, instead wiping a tear from beneath it dumaguete
“But for some reason when I wasn’t fighting or in camp dumaguete
dumaguete
dumaguete
F***, sorry,” he said, attempting a laugh, looking away and to the ceiling, then gently rapping his hand on the table to bring himself back into the room dumaguete

“I needed a fight, and this opportunity came up dumaguete
I’ll be honest: I wasn’t training as much as I should have, but I thought I had to do it dumaguete
I had to take it dumaguete
I’m telling myself, ‘It’s meant to be dumaguete
’ I was struggling a little bit not fighting, doing my head in dumaguete
I don’t know how; everything’s fine, I’ve got a beautiful family dumaguete
But, I don’t know dumaguete
dumaguete
dumaguete
I think you just need to keep busy dumaguete
I need to be in camp, otherwise, I’m going to do my head in dumaguete
“It’s weird, [it’s not that I] never ‘believed in that stuff’, but I never got it dumaguete
It was something that – I don’t know – maybe the more and more I learn about myself, the more I understand dumaguete
I talked about us having a smile on my face, me and my wife dumaguete

”Makhachev consoles Volkanovski after their fight, the main event of UFC 294 (AP)Volkanovski pointed to the birth of his third child, in August, and surgery on an injury this summer as reasons why he had not been training dumaguete
Clearly, the knock-on effect of those moments – as joyous as the former seemed to be – has led Volkanovski’s mental health to suffer dumaguete
Last week, all the talk was of how brave the Australian was to face Makhachev on short notice; braver was this admission that he is struggling, which simultaneously offers a different lens through which to view his choice to fight dumaguete
Keeping himself engaged and busy is healthy, but that is complicated by the inherent risk in his profession dumaguete
“Maybe it was just a silly decision under the circumstances,” he admitted dumaguete
Perhaps it was, though it was also understandable dumaguete
Volkanovski’s next challenge, however, will come outside of the ring dumaguete
It must dumaguete
He naturally sees the antidote to his current struggles as a quick turnaround to fight again, likely against the dangerous Ilia Topuria in January dumaguete
Yet, that fight could go the same way as Saturday’s against Makhachev, if the Australian does not first tackle these thoughts and feelings, and find the right balance for him dumaguete
We knew Alexander Volkanovski was brave dumaguete
That is even clearer now than it was last week dumaguete
Now, however, he must be sensible, and get to work outside the ring before he can return to work in it dumaguete
