De Zerbi’s style revolves around luring opponents who press high or low, choosing the right passes at the right moment and the right movements and he packs the team with direct attackers and uses a blob of playmakers in the middle of the park to filter moves through the fertile centre of the field.
When asked how Brighton, a team with a small budget, keeps outperforming United, De Zerbi responded, as per Daily Mail:
Football is nice because the small team can win in every moment. I think Brighton is becoming not a big team, but it is not a surprise.”
Danny Welbeck’s close-range goal gave United the lead after 20 minutes after a strong start to the game. Five minutes before halftime, VAR disallowed a goal by Rasmus Hojlund because it was determined that Marcus Rashford had allowed the ball to go out of play.
When Pascal Gross made it 2-0 after the break and Joao Pedro scored a third goal with 20 minutes left, the Seagulls took advantage of their good fortune. Moments later, Hannibal Mejbri scored for United for the first time as a senior, but it wasn’t enough to save the Reds.
