"I enjoy watching Brighton, they are an exceptional team.
"The team is in really good condition.
"We have done it, not ‘I’ have done it. I'm a part of a process. You cannot imagine how I am supported unconditionally.
"Of course, the players are the main reason are there but all staff backroom staff, all the success is because WE have done it.

"Never have I felt that ‘I’ won a game. It's a team."
