'This win will give us belief'published at 22:17 Greenwich Mean Time
FT: Ipswich 0-2 Brighton
Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler speaking to BBC Sport: "It wasn't the best performance from us, but in the end, we controlled the game and were stable out of possession. We created more chances in the second half, so we deserved to win. I am happy about it. We have suffered in this period and this win should give us the belief and self confidence. Now we have to prepare for the next challenge."
On what he told his players at half-time: "I told them to stay patient and not to try to force it. We tried to force it too much in the first half. We were not getting our positioning right. We changed a few things. In the second half, though they played with more intensity and pressed better, we were more dominant and created more chances. That's why I think we deserved it."
"Every victory in the Premier League means a lot to me because it's very difficult to win in this league. We saw that in the recent weeks. We had great performances, sometimes even better than today, but in the end the result is the most important thing. We are happy but there's only a short time to be happy. We have to focus on the next."
On Georginio Rutter: "I am impressed by his attitude and how positive he always is. He always has a smile on his face. He really enjoys being on the pitch and playing with the lads. He has a lot of important experience in the Championship. He is a good finisher and I am very happy he is here. But there are a lot of things to improve and he knows it. We try to give him the environment where he can improve every day."
