In the 20th round of the Premier League, Brighton had a fierce battle with Arsenal at home and finally shook hands with a score of 1-1. After the match, Brighton defender Van Hecke gave a comprehensive analysis of the match on Sky Sports.
Van Hecke began by praising his team's performance, "In my opinion, we showed a pretty high level in this game. Although we made a mistake on the defensive side of the field and conceded the first goal, it was not the way we should have played. However, the players on the field showed tenacity and we were always striving for an equalizer."
He then delved into the importance of improving the team's stability: "We are a young team with an average age of only 23. Being young is dynamic, but it also brings some instability. Nevertheless, the players always give their best. Perhaps we still need to gain more experience to better control the game, but I believe we will mature and stabilize over time."
Van Hecke also commented on Arsenal's goal: "During Arsenal's goal, their young player Nwaneri got open on the right and broke through unopposed with ease. As a team, we should have done a better job of limiting the other team's offense. The mistake made us realize that we have to be more vigilant and tighten up our defense against strong teams."
Despite failing to win, Van Hecke is confident about the future: "We played quite well in certain areas and showed our potential and strength. Consistency is crucial for us. As long as we can maintain our consistency and excellence in the coming games, I'm sure we can get back to where we deserve to be."
