Percy Tau’s debut in full
Pep Guardiola impressed with Brighton and Tau
“Every pass makes sense. Their movement between the lines up front makes sense. Every player is in his position to get the ball and be free. The people up front are so fast, with Tau, Maupay, until the last minute.” – Guardiola said regarding Percy Tau’s Brighton following the match.
“They are struggling to score goals, that’s why they are in the position. Last season, when we played away, we had already qualified for the Champions League. We were relaxed, they were struggling and felt the pressure. We won 4-0 at home [last season] but 1-0 today at the end was good.”
Brighton and Hove Albion are next in action against Leeds United on Saturday afternoon. Leeds’ open game-plan may leave Percy Tau with enough space to cause the havoc we’ve become used to seeing from the diminutive attacker.
