Brighton's pre-season has been 'done right'
Former Brighton player Warren Aspinall, speaking on BBC Radio Sussex's Albion Unlimited podcast about the Seagulls' approach of having a focused pre-season training camp: "Once you travel to the other side of the world, the time difference is difficult and you lose two or three days there. It's probably more days off than working. "They've had a bit of a bonding session in Spain - that's what you want, these new players getting embedded in and getting to know their new team-mates. "They've done it right. I think they've had a good pre-season. Hurzeler's working very hard." Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, the i Paper's chief football writer Daniel Storey added: "Are they going to gain many more fans by going away to Asia or America? Because then you're competing against Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City, it's very difficult to suddenly turn someone to go buy that Brighton shirt and support that team. "I'm almost certain it was Fabian Hurzeler's idea, and I think what they learned from last season is that you need to create a culture right for the manager that's there. "It's made sense with a young coach who loves control to take the noise away. It's a young squad. They don't need the external noise of people caring about pre-season results."
