JAKARTA - Brighton Albion coach Graham Potter said he was annoyed with the behavior of his team's supporters. This turned out to be related to the ridicule that emerged after the match against Leeds.
In the 13th week of the 2021 Premier League, Brighton is scheduled to host Leeds at their headquarters, Falmer Stadium. Unfortunately, the match which was held on Sunday, November 28, had to end with unsatisfactory results.
Appearing at their own headquarters, Brighton even failed to steal points. They could only finish the match against Leeds with a scoreless draw, 0-0.
Failing to steal points at home even though they succeeded in dominating the match, it sparked the annoyance of the fans. After the match, there were boos from Brighton fans at their club.
Regarding this, Potter gave his response. Although he admitted that he was annoyed and did not agree with the actions of fans, he was aware that it was the right of fans to express criticism.
"You can't control that (criticism), everyone is entitled to their opinion. But I completely disagree," said Potter commenting on the match as quoted from the club's website.
Although he had admitted to being annoyed by the actions of fans, the coach did not take it too seriously. Instead, he chose to give appreciation to his team.
Potter said despite the 0-0 draw but he was very proud of his team. That's because the players managed to create several chances despite facing tough opponents.
“You have Tariq Lamptey, you have Jakub Moder. The young players out there are doing their best, Robert Sanchez in goal, the other young players are doing their best too," said Potter.
“Marc Cucurella I think is fantastic, Leo Trossard is fantastic. Maybe I need a history lesson."
"I need to understand that we are here because as far as I can see we are eighth in the Premier League and the players are giving everything. We'll continue with that," Potter said.
