Brighton boss Dario Vidosic has been speaking to the media before Sunday’s Women’s Super League game against Crystal Palace (kick-off 14:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
-
Crystal Palace “are getting better and better every week”, says Vidosic and he believes it will “100% be a tough game” this weekend.
-
Vidosic says the fans will make it clear that it is a derby match and that “adds an extra edge” to the fixture.
-
He adds: “We’re excited for it. It was the first game I was told about when I arrived. You love a derby week and we’re ready for it.”
-
Manchester City boss Gareth Taylor said the way he set up his side to face Brighton was similar to how he approached their 2-0 win over Barcelona, and Vidosic says it is a “huge compliment” to be discussed in the same bracket as the “best team in the world”.
-
He adds: “A lot of people hold Barca to that accolade – that they are the best and they are the European champions. For us to be so short in our journey and be compared to them, is a huge compliment. I have to be very thankful and appreciative of that.”
-
Vidosic also hopes his side will “go out and dictate the game” against Palace.
