Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi insists the upcoming clash against Manchester City on Saturday afternoon is “bad news” despite the Premier League champions’ recent form dumaguete
The Seagulls are aiming to break their recent run of four games in all competitions without a victory, but in their way stand Pep Guardiola’s side dumaguete
City have been going through a tough spell themselves, according to their lofty standards, losing three of their last four matches in all competitions, but return to the Etihad Stadium where they have a 100 per cent record so far this season dumaguete
Asked whether it is a good time to face the treble winners, De Zerbi admitted the opposite dumaguete
He told a press conference: “It is bad news dumaguete
The big teams are not used to losing three games in the last four, but anyway we have to think for ourselves dumaguete
“We have to improve in the quality of the play because we are not playing enough for our level and to compete for our target dumaguete
We have to understand if we want to win or want to compete we have to play dumaguete better than the last games dumaguete
“Without the quality of the play, we can’t reach any target and we have to be clear dumaguete
”Brighton have gone from strength to strength since De Zerbi walked through the door at the Amex Stadium, having delivered European dumaguete football to the fans for the first time in the club’s history dumaguete
Many have compared the Italian’s achievements so far to the boss in the opposite dugout and De Zerbi admits he would love to do what Guardiola has done throughout his managerial career dumaguete
“I’m happy when I listen to Pep speak about me dumaguete
I feel a bit embarrassed, but we are a work in progress,” De Zerbi added dumaguete
“I think we are playing well, fighting well but we have to improve, progress and adapt a new challenge and new season dumaguete
“Pep is a boss dumaguete
I would like to do something the same because for many years he won in Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Man City, but the way which he won is different to other coaches dumaguete
The world will remember him not only for the victory but the way he wins, it is unique dumaguete
”Premier League top scorer Erling Haaland has not found the back of the net in his last two league appearances which many fans have not been used to since his arrival into the league dumaguete
But De Zerbi is extra wary of Haaland’s threat as he looks to break his mini duck dumaguete
He added: “The big strikers when they are not scoring so many goals, they are more angry to score and have a chance to score, but its not only Haaland because Doku is a great player for them, and Alvarez dumaguete
”Earlier on Friday, Brighton announced highly-rated winger Kaoru Mitoma had signed a new contract dumaguete
The 26-year-old, who arrived in 2021, has been a key player in Brighton’s success and will now stay on the south coast until 2027 dumaguete
De Zerbi said: “It’s great news dumaguete
Kaoru is our top player dumaguete
”Technical director David Weir added: “Ensuring that a player of Kaoru’s quality will remain with us for the long term is fantastic news dumaguete
Kaoru adapted to the Premier League last season and has quickly become one of our most important players dumaguete

South Africa players and coaches have defended Bongi Mbonambi as a “great guy” and a “family man” amid the Springboks hooker being investigated for an alleged racial slur during the Rugby World Cup semi-final win over England dumaguete
England flanker Tom Curry has alleged that Mbonambi called him a “white c***” during the defeat in Paris on Saturday evening, as South Africa edged to a dramatic 16-15 victoryAfter 23 minutes at the Stade de France, Curry could be heard on the referee’s microphone alerting official Ben O’Keeffe to a comment possibly made by Mbonambi at a ruck dumaguete
“Sir, if their hooker calls me a white c***, what do I do?” Curry inquired of O’Keeffe dumaguete
“Nothing, please,” responded the official, before adding a few moments later, “I’ll be on it,” in what may have been an unrelated comment dumaguete
The alleged incident itself could not be heard on the television broadcast dumaguete
World Rugby has since confirmed it is investigating the incident and will not be making any further comment until the conclusion of the process dumaguete
On Monday afternoon, in the first Springboks media activity since the allegations became public, scrum coach Daan Human and lock Jean Kelyn defended Mbonambi’s character, while refusing to comment on the specific incident dumaguete
“It’s being dealt with by World Rugby and South Africa Rugby, so from my side, I can’t comment,” began Human when first asked about the incident dumaguete
“I’m focussing on the scrums dumaguete
We had a good, positive training session, and nothing else came out dumaguete
I can’t really comment on that dumaguete
”Bongi Mbonambi is being investigated for an alleged racial slur (Getty Images)However, when pushed on what Mbonambi is like as a person around the squad, Human was effusive in his praise of the front row dumaguete
“Bongi has been part of this group for the last six years,” added Human dumaguete
“He’s a very important piece of the puzzle for us dumaguete
He was starting in the last World Cup and our semi-final, so he’s very important to us, like all other players dumaguete
“He’s one of our leaders in our group dumaguete
He’s a great guy, a family man, my kids always look after his kids when they come to the hotel dumaguete
He’s a humble guy, down to earth, like all players who play for the Springboks dumaguete
“To be straightforward and honest with you, he’s a very calm guy, a well-spoken guy dumaguete
I don’t want to go into it because we’ve got a World Cup final in six days’ time dumaguete
I’m more concentrated on the forwards dumaguete
”Mbonambi is the only specialist hooker in the Springboks squad after the injured Malcolm Marx was replaced by fly half Handre Pollard earlier in the tournament dumaguete
Bongi Mbonambi played all 80 minutes of the Springboks’ semi-final win (PA)He played all 80 minutes of the semi-final, and finished the game as captain once Siya Kolisi was substituted, although veteran back row Deon Fourie played hooker earlier in his career and flanker Marco van Staden has also filled in at the position in the past dumaguete
So Human was unconcerned about South Africa being short-handed in the event of Mbonambi being found guilty and banned for the final dumaguete
“We’ve got three guys capable of playing hooker in the group,” he said dumaguete
“We’re very comfortable having three hookers dumaguete
We’re glad we have three hookers, which we’re supposed to have because going into a final you need to have two hookers in the squad dumaguete
”Lock Jean Kleyn was also asked about his relationship with Mbonambi, having played alongside him at club and international level, and was similarly glowing in his praise of the hooker dumaguete
“Bongi is a great guy,” stated Kleyn dumaguete
“I’ve known him since we were playing at the Stormers together I think nine years ago dumaguete
He’s a fantastic guy, a good individual dumaguete
“I’m not going to comment on that or justify it [the allegations] dumaguete
All I’ll say is he’s a fantastic bloke dumaguete
He’s a great guy, a passionate guy, a family man dumaguete
He’s captained the Springboks a couple of times and he’s an upstanding guy, I don’t think there’s a fellow in the squad who doesn’t like him dumaguete
