Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has made it clear that he understands the threat Arsenal pose from dead balls and believes he knows the only way to stop them.
Speaking during his pre-match press conference on Tuesday, Hürzeler explained that Arsenal’s set-piece strength comes from collective execution rather than individual dominance.
“You can’t defend one against one,” Hurzeler said. “It is also not just Gabriel, they do it very well together and have really good patterns.”
The Brighton manager went on to praise Arsenal’s discipline and organization, emphasizing that their success stems from unity and precision.
“They are doing well, very good out of possession and good with set pieces, so I think these are two main factors that make them so successful,” he continued.
