“From Starter to Benchwarmer…” – Matt O’Riley is Warming the Bench as Brighton Manager Makes This BOLD Statement on His Performance…

MATT O’RILEY: BRIGHTON BOSS FABIAN HURZELER EXPLAINS WHY FORMER CELTIC STAR’S CAREER HAS YET TO TAKE OFF

Matt O’Riley’s move from Celtic to Brighton was hailed as a major coup for the Seagulls, with the midfielder joining for a reported £30million fee. However, since making the switch, O’Riley has found it tough to establish himself in the Brighton first team.

According to Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler, O’Riley’s struggles to adapt to the Premier League have been a major factor in his limited playing time. Hurzeler believes that O’Riley’s game is well-suited to the Scottish Premiership, but that he needs to adapt his style to succeed in the more physical and fast-paced Premier League.

“Matt is a very talented player, but he needs to adjust his game to the Premier League,” Hurzeler explained. “In Scotland, the game is more focused on technique and possession, whereas in the Premier League, it’s more about intensity and physicality. Matt needs to learn to play with more intensity and aggression if he wants to succeed here.”

O’Riley’s limited playing time has been a source of frustration for the midfielder, who was a key player for Celtic during his time in Scotland. However, Hurzeler is confident that O’Riley has the talent and work ethic to succeed in the Premier League.

“Matt is a very dedicated player, and he’s been working hard in training to adapt to our style of play,” Hurzeler said. “He’s got a lot of quality, and I’m confident that he’ll come good for us. It’s just a matter of time and patience.”

Despite O’Riley’s struggles to establish himself in the Brighton first team, Hurzeler believes that the midfielder has the potential to become a key player for the Seagulls.

“Matt’s got a lot of potential, and I think he can become a very important player for us,” Hurzeler said. “He’s got a lot of quality on the ball, and he’s got a great vision for the game. If he can adapt to the Premier League and play with more intensity, I think he can be a real asset for us.”

As O’Riley continues to work on adapting to the Premier League, Hurzeler is confident that the midfielder will eventually come good for Brighton. With patience and hard work, O’Riley can unlock his full potential and become a key player for the Seagulls.
