Feyenoord manager Arne Slot has a deep interest in Brighton and Hove Albion and their style of play under Roberto de Zerbi. He closely follows Brighton’s matches to understand and emulate their recent success.
Feyenoord has been enjoying a successful run under Slot, winning the Eredivisie title last season and currently sitting third in the league table. They also lead Group E in the Champions League with six points from three games. Feyenoord’s playing style under Slot has received praise for its attractive, attacking football.
This style is reminiscent of what’s happening at Brighton, where Roberto de Zerbi took over last season and transformed them into one of the most attractive sides in Europe. Brighton and De Zerbi have earned admirers for their style of play, and it seems that Arne Slot is among those impressed.
According to journalist Pieter Zwart, Slot is “obsessed with De Zerbi” and watches all of Brighton’s matches. This dedication extends to the point where Slot’s enthusiasm has influenced his players, with midfielder Kökçü noting that Slot’s discussions about Brighton led him to watch Brighton matches as well.
The focus is on improving the ability to sense when to make passes, a strength that Brighton excels at. By having the entire team watch and learn from Brighton’s style, Feyenoord hopes to further develop their own approach. This approach has been evident in their recent performances.
