Brighton Manager Vidosic Discusses Team Form, Player Availability, and Arsenal Match

Brighton manager Dario Vidosic addressed the media ahead of Friday’s Women’s Super League fixture against Arsenal, scheduled for a 19:00 GMT kick-off. The following are the main points from his press conference. Forward Michelle Agyemang, currently on loan, is ineligible to participate in the match against her parent club. Pauline Bremer is anticipated to return from injury within “a couple of weeks.” Vidosic characterized Brighton’s first-half performance against Leicester last weekend as their “best performance of the season.” Regarding Nikita Parris’ achievement of three goals in three games, he stated, “Her best is still coming.” When questioned about whether he views his third-placed team as title contenders, Vidosic responded, “I think the table only matters on the last day of the season.” He commented that Arsenal remains “still a fantastic team” despite their challenging start to the season, possessing “a lot of players that can hurt you.” Discussing the prospect of playing at the Emirates, Vidosic described it as a “dream” for players to compete in large stadiums, further remarking, “All the eyes around the world will be on this game as well. So it’s a pressure, but it’s a privilege.” The Brighton manager expressed that it was “awesome” that Fabian Hurzeler, the Brighton men’s head coach, attended their game at Broadfield Stadium last weekend.
