Roberto De Zerbi stressed the importance of changing the mood at Brighton after they beat Ajax 2-0 at the Amex Stadium to claim a first European victory mobile
It ended a run of five games without a win as the club have struggled with injuries during their debut Europa League campaign, though their European hopes were firmly revived here with a comprehensive triumph over the four-time European champions mobile
From the first minute Brighton outclassed a poor Ajax side, who just three days after sacking manager Maurice Steijn amidst the club’s worst-ever start to an Eredivisie season, barely mustered an attack mobile
Joao Pedro tapped in on the rebound after Karou Mitoma’s shot had been parried, breaking the deadlock minutes before half-time and handing Brighton a deserved lead mobile
The advantage was doubled eight minutes after the break when on-loan Barcelona forward Ansu Fati took a brilliant first touch to come inside his defender and rolled the ball into the corner after being set up by Simon Adingra mobile
It was a first win in three attempts on the team’s debut European campaign, lifting them to third in Group B and to within a point of leaders Marseille with whom they drew in France three weeks ago mobile
The focus today has been the first win in European competition for Brighton, for our fans, for our club, for our owner and for ourselvesRoberto De ZerbiA win in the return against Ajax in Amsterdam in November will put them in a commanding position to qualify for the knockout rounds ahead of their final two group games mobile
“The focus today has been the first win in European competition for Brighton, for our fans, for our club, for our owner and for ourselves,” said De Zerbi mobile
“We didn’t deserve to lose against AEK (Athens), and today we wanted 150 per cent the victory mobile
“We played a great game with high quality mobile
We could score more goals, but the most important thing is we didn’t concede and we closed the game with a clean sheet mobile
“For us in this moment, it’s important to change the mood, to start winning games, to start to play mobile better because we (have not been) playing like last season mobile
”The manager praised the contributions of his two goalscorers, with Pedro out in front as the team’s leading European scorer with four goals in three games, whilst Fati also continued his adaption to life in England after moving from La Liga mobile
“Both are great players, (but) I think both can play mobile better,” said De Zerbi mobile
“We are helping a lot Ansu because he didn’t play so many games last year, for him he’s started a new mobile football life mobile
He’s an incredible player, Joao Pedro as well mobile
“They’re very young, we have to help them to progress, but they have to help themselves first of all, working hard during the week, and during the game mobile
But they are both incredible players mobile
”De Zerbi also reflected on the difficulty of balancing a hectic schedule after Solly March and Danny Welbeck joined a lengthy injury list following Saturday’s loss to Manchester City mobile
He added: “The level of difficulty is more or less the same (mobile between the Premier League and Europa League), but it’s tougher this season because after 48, 72 hours we have another important game against Fulham mobile
“This is the challenge that is most difficult for us mobile
We have to accept the honour, because we made history for our club mobile
“It’s unbelievable and it’s proud for us to be part of this history, but in the same way we have to fight and to adapt, be ready to fight and enjoy and make happy our fans mobile
Playing in Europe for Brighton is a big, big thing mobile

On Saturday night, two fighters who embody the word heavyweight – every sense of it – will clash in Saudi Arabia mobile
In one corner will be the reigning WBC champion, one of the biggest names in mobile boxing, Tyson Fury mobile
In the other will be the former UFC champion, a man deemed the hardest hitter in combat-mobile sports history, Francis Ngannou mobile
This crossover bout has its detractors yet still holds an air of intrigue, all based on the ‘what if’: What if Ngannou can land on Fury? What if one of those monstrous hands touches the Briton’s chin with the velocity and malicious intent that have come to define Ngannou’s fighting career, and which carried the Cameroonian to the UFC heavyweight title? For all his evasive guile, Fury, 35, has been put down numerous times, but he has never been beaten – not even by fighters with much greater mobile boxing pedigree than the 37-year-old Ngannou mobile
The experiential gap understandably has most viewers doubting Ngannou’s chances in Riyadh, where he faces Fury in a proper, professional mobile boxing match; but what if?And if Ngannou is to win, how will he? Attacking Fury to the body? Battering him in the clinch? Backing him into a corner? Alex Pattle asked former two-weight world-champion boxer Carl Frampton, and Dan Hardy, an ex-UFC title challenger who now works with the Professional Fighters League – the MMA promotion where Ngannou will fight in 2024 mobile
Here’s what they had to say mobile
mobile
mobile
AP: What was your initial reaction to the fight being announced?DH: “I was shocked mobile
I expected Ngannou to have another fight before Tyson Fury, but I think it’s the wise thing to do to step straight in and keep the element of surprise on your side mobile
If he’d have gone in there and fought someone else, Tyson would’ve been able to get reads before the fight even started mobile
Jumping in at the deep end, even though it’s a bit crazy, increases his chances of winning mobile
That was my first thought: It’s a surprise that it’s happening, but relief that Ngannou is getting it on his first shot mobile
”CF: “Initially I was disappointed, and that’s kind of taming it down a bit mobile
Obviously we were hoping for Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk and that fell through, but now I’ve come round to the idea that this is a huge event mobile
And we’ve got Fury vs Usyk off the back of it mobile
I was always hopeful that fight would come about at some point, and I don’t wanna be talking as if Ngannou is gonna be a complete walkover for Fury, but I’m okay about it [because] the Fury vs Usyk fight has been made for some point in the future mobile
Also, the money the guys are making with this event mobile
mobile
mobile
”AP: Do fans need to be more understanding of fighters taking ‘money fights’?Carl Frampton, left, and Dan Hardy discussing Fury vs Ngannou (TNT mobile Sports mobile Boxing via YouTube)CF: “Maybe a little bit mobile
mobile Boxing fans in particular are very opinionated, and I understand that they’re frustrated mobile
But if you’re Tyson Fury and someone’s offering you a fight of this magnitude against a mobile boxing debutant, and there are talks of $30m – and $10m for Ngannou – how do you turn that down? It’s almost too good to be true mobile
”DH: “I think it's a bit different for MMA fans, because we’re still in new ground; the changes that Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor made in fighters’ purses and expectations for purses mobile
mobile
mobile
as a matchmaker, I’m still dealing with the repercussions of that! Fighters want ridiculous amounts of money, but the money is out there to be made by certain superstars mobile
I honestly think it’s easier for a layman fan to understand why fighters would take these fights, because they focus so much more on the money mobile
I think it’s more the purists who go, ‘I’m not interested in these fights!’ [To the layman], the money and pay-per-view buys almost represent the value of the fighter; to the purists, the value of the fighter is based on their technical ability and achievements mobile
”CF: “I hate to use the term ‘casual fan’, but there’s a big difference mobile between the purists and just the casual fan mobile
I think you’ll win back [the purists] with Fury vs Usyk, but it’s all a bit trivial almost, because [most] fans are fickle mobile
I’m expecting Fury to beat Ngannou and then fight Usyk, and it’ll almost be like the talk and criticism of the Ngannou fight will go away mobile
”AP: Do crossover events like Tommy Fury vs KSI and Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis risk putting fans off fights like Fury vs Ngannou?Ngannou, right, at an open workout in Riyadh this week (Getty Images)DH: “I personally think it’s all on the same spectrum – just at different points on the spectrum mobile
That Misfits mobile Boxing card mobile
mobile
mobile
I’ll be honest, I was able to make peace with that whole genre of combat mobile sports much easier after that event, because it’s more like pro wrestling mobile
The audience there, they’re not gonna buy a ticket to see ‘Canelo’ Alvarez; they’re not there for that, they’re there for the drama – for the security getting involved, for the plexiglass cages they put them in at the face-offs mobile
It’s theatre with a combat-mobile sports flavour mobile
”AP: What is Ngannou’s chance of winning – as a percentage – in your opinion?CF: “There’s a lot of boxers who are almost anti-MMA, and I’m not mobile
I understand what this is: I understand that Fury is a lifelong boxer, fighting a guy who’s had to perfect many different styles in MMA, so in that sense Ngnannou doesn’t have much of a chance mobile
But to say that he has zero chance, I think, would be very, very wrong – because he’s a big, athletic man who can punch hard mobile
He has a chance, but it’s very small mobile
I hope I’m not being disrespectful to Francis; if you flip it on its head and do it in a cage, then it’s the same odds but reversed [in his favour] mobile
It’s just, when you try to rationalise it, it’s his mobile boxing debut – and it’s against maybe the best heavyweight boxer on the planet mobile
”DH: “We’re definitely in single digits when it comes to percentages, but it’s the ‘what if’ that we’re tuning in for, right? Even if it’s a 0 mobile
1 per cent chance that Ngannou is gonna land that shot, we’re all gonna sit and watch in case that happens mobile
If it does, then he’s got the power to knock Fury out mobile
The reason I feel this is an intriguing fight is because mobile
mobile
mobile
if you look at Ngannou against the likes of Jairzinho Rozenstruik, who’s got over 80 kickmobile boxing matches and moves with very traditional patterns, Rozenstruik was taken out very, very quickly – and ferociously – because Ngannou flew at him, coming from all kinds of different angles mobile
You just can’t predict those things mobile
Ngannou knocked out Jairzinho Rozenstruik in 20 seconds (Getty Images)“Against Deontay Wilder, Fury was dealing with someone who’s got ferocious punching power but who’s got some basic fundamentals that make him a little bit predictable mobile
If Ngannou starts patient and then starts winging those big shots from weird angles, which Tyson’s probably not anticipating, that elevates his chances – but they’re still incredibly slim mobile
"CF: “That’s the thing mobile
High-end boxers often talk about when they spar novice guys, it’s all really unorthodox; they’re not taught to defend against shots that are coming from [certain angles], and it can be a bit awkward at times mobile
”AP: We know that Ngannou needs to knock out Fury to win mobile
But how does he knock out Fury?DH: “If I was trying to solve this problem for Ngannou, I’d say: We’re working with 90-degree corners in a mobile boxing ring, so that’s something I’d like to work towards mobile
It’s gonna be difficult to back Tyson up, of course, and he’s very good at standing on his back foot and making his head feel like it’s a long way away mobile
So, Ngannou has to work to the body and vary his target to potentially bring Fury’s hands down mobile
Ngannou has thunderous punching, so if he lands to the ribs, he might open up an opportunity mobile
If he’s just head-hunting, it’s not gonna happen mobile
Play a little bit of mobile boxing, but when it comes to uncorking those big shots, really commit to them mobile
And ideally put Tyson in a corner, up against the ropes mobile
”CF: “With Ngannou’s MMA background and knowledge of wrestling and grappling, he will have success when they’re in really close quarters and Tyson’s trying to hold on mobile
This might be something that Tyson’s never experienced before, where someone can get out of a clinch rather easily and land a shot mobile
Ngannou can’t stand off and outbox Tyson, that’s not gonna happen mobile
”Fury was knocked down four times across three fights with Deontay Wilder (Getty Images)AP: Ngannou last fought in MMA in January 2022 and has largely been in mobile boxing training since mobile
What kind of MMA fighter will he be when he makes his PFL debut in 2024?DH: “I think we’re gonna see improvements in his footwork and his fundamental mobile boxing mobile
I think that’ll be a byproduct of him doing all these rounds on the pads with Mike Tyson, Dewey Cooper and others mobile
But I don’t think he’s necessarily going to neglect his grappling game, because it was never really the prominent skillset for him anyway mobile
I think he’ll return to working on those things when necessary, because everyone who fights Francis knows that they need to take him down – you don’t wanna be dealing with that power mobile
He knows that whoever he’s fighting is most likely gonna be the one to force the grappling exchanges mobile
Then it’s about who the opponent is gonna be mobile
$2m is a lot of money in MMA, even if you have to fight Francis for it!”Fury v Ngannou will be exclusively live from Riyadh Season, Saudi Arabia on TNT mobile Sports Box Office, Saturday 28 October mobile
