Fabian Herzeller says Brighton should be ready when they face a “private player”, Joao Pedro tomorrow.
International Brazil left for Chelsea in a summer step of 60 million pounds, which led to a good road between the two clubs.
He faces them tomorrow for the first time after a great start to life in his new club, where he scored five times in nine games in all competitions and played a major role as Chelsea won the club’s World Cup in the summer.
“Joao was a special player for us and it is not easy to replace him alone, but we did it as one team and we did it well.
“There is always a process, new players must intervene, new young players with great potential must intervene. They have to prove themselves at the end of each week that they are ready for that but they need time.
“The second thing, of course, Joao is a private player. He has already proved to be in Chelsea in the first (few) games. He played well. He scored goals. It’s a changing games for them. We have to defend a team, as a unit. I’m sure we are able to do this.”
Munad Palmer for Miss Brighton Clash
Pedro is likely to start against his former club, but Brighton can be strengthened due to the lack of Cole Palmer.
England is still struggling with a thigh injury I replaced only 20 minutes of defeat last Saturday in Manchester United.
It is said that Chelsea is considering delivering Palmer for a long period of rest or sending it to a process.
Either way, it is very unlikely that the Herzeller team will face tomorrow.
The 32 -year -old said: “First of all, we cannot influence if he is playing or not. It is important to focus on our game and focus on the way we want to play.
“If he starts, he is a changing games for them. He is one of the best Premier League players. He got a special left foot. He can decide a game in one work.
“It comes to defense as one team, as a unit, but it is not only a defense, but also about playing our playing style. If you go there you only try to defend you will not have a chance.”
Preton won only one of the first five Premier League matches this season.
