One gifted Arsenal player has been praised by Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler following Wednesday’s Carabao Cup match.
Following the Carabao Cup match on Wednesday night, Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler had particular admiration for one Arsenal player. Ethan Nwaneri and Bukayo Saka’s goals helped Arsenal advance, although Brighton had opportunities against a frequently rotated Gunners team. As many anticipated, it was a good match, with the Seagulls typically proving to be difficult opponents for everyone.
A quarterfinal matchup with Crystal Palace is Arsenal’s reward, and it will be a challenging test for Mikel Arteta’s team.
For the time being, though, Arteta can be happy with Arsenal’s development and how effectively his team handled so many changes. Players like Max Dowman and Nwaneri took advantage of the opportunity to make an impression as up-and-coming talent.
After the match, the Brighton manager praised Dowman, stating: “I think he [Dowman] already played some minutes in the Premier League so he’s a good player.”
“We all do our best to get our squad ready. Like Saka, he is a left-footed player, thus the profiles are not too unlike. We made every effort to prepare, but you can’t always tell who is playing until you look at the teamsheet, at which time you can offer the players more guidance.
Hurzeler went on to discuss the game in general, saying, “It’s a strange feeling not being in next round.” “You normally don’t have as many chances while playing Arsenal, so you have to score goals to advance to the next round.
It’s upsetting that we had multiple shots but were unable to score. It’s difficult to score goals here, and their first goal changed the course of the match. This is a lost chance. We must provide the outcomes in this game, so we must now examine why we failed to accomplish so in the previous two games.
“We had some good scoring opportunities even in the second half, so we need to provide the players with the proper support to ensure they perform better the next time.” We must focus on the positives, and there were many. The good news is that we will aim to do better against Leeds in our third game in three days. We are now concentrating on it.
Arteta is happy with the impact of Dowman.
After the game, Arteta himself gave Dowman a lot of praise. Arteta described the 15-year-old as “just doing what he does best, which is to play football, to play football with a lot of courage and determination.” Once more, he shown amazing skill today and the ability to outscore players at that level in the Premier League at the age of 15. It’s undoubtedly something unique.
When asked if the child was eager to begin more, the Spaniard responded, “Definitely, if you ask him, definitely.” We have to deal with that. In addition, he has a lot of new things in his life. A few days ago, we talked about making sure he follows the proper procedures, behaves appropriately, and accepts that he will be joining this team and then playing for another one. He must deal with all of that because it is happening very quickly, and we all need to be aware of that. Let’s support him in continuing in that direction while simultaneously keeping him safe.
