De Gerbi: “Guardiola is the best in the world, I feel embarrassed when he talks about me”
Roberto De Gerbi praised Pep Guardiola ahead of Brighton’s away game against champions Manchester City, stressing that the Seagulls are still not a great team.
Brighton had an impressive season under Roberto Di Gerbi last year and generously made up for it by securing a ticket to Europe for the first time ever, competing in a Europa League group against AEK, Marseille and Ajax.
This year they are just as strong and are showing it with their presence in the Premier League, where they sit 6th in the table after eight games. However, on Saturday afternoon she will have a very difficult test at the “Etihad” against the champions of England and Europe, Manchester City.
“It is very difficult to prepare for the game against City. It’s the most difficult game and they want to keep the ball, just like we do.”
It’s a big challenge.”emphasized the Italian coach at the press conference on Friday (October 20th) and then idolized his counterpart Pep Guardiola:
“Pep is the best coach in the world. He is a reference point not only for me but for all coaches in the world and I am happy when I hear him talk about myself and at the same time I feel a little embarrassed.”
We are working on improving, the team is not big yet. We have passion and we should show that clearly this season.”
