EPL: Why We Lost 4-0 to Brighton – Rangnick
Manchester United interim manager, Ralf Rangnick, has explained why his team lost 4-0 against Brighton in Saturday’s Premier League tie.
Moises Caicedo put Brighton into the lead after just 15 minutes, before Marc Cucurella doubled the lead for the homeside four minutes after the re-start.
Pascal Gross and Leandro Trossard added the goals which underlined Brighton’s dominance against Man United.
After Trossard’s goal, Cristiano Ronaldo was caught laughing by the TV cameras, while Man United fans chanted ‘you’re not fit to wear the shirt’ at their crestfallen players.
Reacting to the outcome of the result, Rangick said at his post-match press conference that Man United gave Brighton too much space during the encounter and they were punished.
“To start with, it’s important that we apologise to our supporters who came all the way from Manchester to Brighton.

“It was a terrible performance. From the first until the last minute it was not enough; we can only apologise for this performance and a humiliating defeat.
“[Monday’s win over Brentford] was a different game, we just gave too much time and space. We were never in a position where we could stop them playing through our lines. We told the players to be as compact as they could, but we couldn’t stop it.
“I don’t think they ignored the game plan, but we weren’t able to stop them.
“We gave them too much space and if you do that against a technically good team like Brighton, you will get punished.”

UCL, EPL: Petr Cech Advises Chelsea On How To Win Trophies
Chelsea legend, Petr Cech, has advised his old club on how to win the UEFA Champions League or the English Premier League.
Chelsea are already out of the Premier League title race this season, and they are at risk of missing out on UEFA Champions League qualification for next season because they are currently not in the ninth position on the Premier League table.

According to the former goalkeeper, the Premier League west London club needs to add experienced players to mentor the young players in the squad.
“You have to look at what you want to achieve. You can have young, talented players, and you can win, but it’s very rare that you manage to do that,” he said.
“If you want to win every season and compete every season, that does not go together.

“You have to change your philosophy. Certain things don’t go together because, in order to win a Champions League or a Premier League… these are really tough competitions, and you have to be consistent.
“You need to have a strong core of the team. And then you can bring young, talented players who will grow faster and then will be held by the experienced players to help navigate them through difficult times when they come.”
Currently, Chelsea have just one player, Tosin Adarabioyo, who is over 28 this season, and the defender has not been playing regularly.
