Milner 'honesty' a plus for Brighton - Hurzeler
- Published
Goalscorer Danny Welbeck was not the only Brighton veteran to impress in Saturday's win over Manchester United.
Thirty-eight-year-old James Milner also produced an outstanding performance, which would have been capped with a second-half goal had Diogo Dalot not cleared off the line.
Milner's attention to detail with his own preparation is the stuff of legend.
But new Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has already seen Milner is not just demanding of himself.
"From the first second I recognise he is a leader and why he had a successful career," said Hurzeler.
"He is a role model in preparing himself for training and doing regeneration.
"But he is very demanding and very honest, it is an honesty you won’t see a lot of times in football and he helps the team with it.
"If we do running in training for instance, if a player is not in line when he is running back, he (Milner) can be quite loud.
"He knows I make the decisions but I try to use his knowledge."
