Fabian Herseeler, Brighton's manager, spoke candidly before leading his team to visit Liverpool tonight in the FA Cup fourth round.
On 14 Feb 2026 GMT+7, Fabian Herseeler, Brighton's manager, stated his goal to lead the team to an away victory over "The Reds" Liverpool in tonight's FA Cup fourth round. He expressed confidence in achieving the desired result because the players have performed well, but previous outcomes have not been favorable.
"We all know this game is about the result. We want the result, and I think the club and fans are eagerly awaiting it. We are all fighting for this, and I believe if we continue to play well like we did against Aston Villa, we will get the result we all want and deserve."
When asked if he feels pressure from the club's management, he said, "No, I don't feel any pressure. The only pressure I feel comes from myself to prepare the team as best as possible and to develop the team. I always want to be the best version of myself, striving to stand alongside the club, the fans, the team, and the staff. I truly feel supported by the club. We communicate daily and are honest with each other. In tough times like these, you really see how we support one another, and I genuinely sense the club's support and trust."
Regarding the players' mental state during these difficult times: "I already knew they have excellent character and attitude, but their cooperation and conduct over the past few days have been incredible. This is not an easy time for them, and it's easy to blame each other, but I don't see it that way. That is the most important thing that can come from these situations: unity. We all believe we can achieve the results we want."
