"There was only one team who tried to play football today. I will never be that kind of manager who tries to win in that way. I ask one question - do you ever see in a Premier League game the goalkeeper going down three times? In the end, of course, every team will manage and waste time, but I think there has to be a limit, and the limit has to be set by the Premier League."
"What a surprise. You just go back to the previous games and you will find a lot of comments like this always. I love my players. That's the highlight. I love my players, we love our players. I love the way we compete."
Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler expressed strong disapproval of Arsenal's playing style following the Gunners' 1-0 victory at the Amex Stadium. During the match, Hurzeler was captured on footage instructing Arsenal defender Piero Hincapie to 'play football' when handing him a throw-in ball. In his post-match press conference, Hurzeler launched a tirade against Arsenal's tactics, stating only Brighton attempted to play proper football and criticizing excessive time-wasting, particularly goalkeeper David Ramsdale going down multiple times. He called for the Premier League and referees to establish limits on such behavior. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta defended his team's competitive approach and expressed love for his players' commitment, dismissing the criticism as recurring commentary.
