Hurzeler was asked how Brighton can be more ruthless in their games. He emphasized the importance of being more focused and disciplined on the field. "We need to kill the game," he said. "We want to score goals, but we also need to defend well." He encouraged his players to focus on the things they can control, such as running, winning personal duels, and reacting to loose balls. "Scoring goals is not something you can control," he explained. "But defending well and keeping a clean sheet can give you a good chance of winning the game."

Hurzeler also acknowledged the challenges posed by Everton's new stadium. "This will be a tough game for us," he said. "Everton's supporters are known for being very emotional and passionate. We're looking forward to the atmosphere, but we're not there to be nice – we're there to win points." He praised the new stadium, saying it will be a great advantage for Everton.

Finally, Hurzeler spoke about Julio Enciso's move to Chelsea's owners, BlueCo. "There are some rumors and talks, but nothing is done yet," he said. He praised Enciso's potential and work ethic, saying he was a young player with a lot to offer. "He's a passionate guy who wants to play football, and it's nice to work with him," he said.
