After a hard tackle six minutes into his Brighton debut, O’Riley was hurt.
The horrifying tackle that hurt Matt O’Riley just minutes into his debut has drawn criticism from Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler.
The midfield player made his Carabao Cup debut against Crawley yesterday night, having only signed from Celtic on Monday in a trade that broke all previous records. But when he got hurt a few minutes into the game, it became a nightmare.
It was brought on by a strong challenge from Crawley defender Jay Williams, which happened as O’Riley was attempting to gain possession of the ball and mount a counterattack. Before being assisted by medical professionals off the pitch, the 23-year-old was left in a scrumpled heap on the deck.
The tackle infuriated Brighton manager Hurzeler, who remarked, “It doesn’t look good, to be honest.” It seemed like an extremely difficult game. I felt that the performance lacked quality. We can play better, but first you have to prevail in rough and tumble games. It was a difficult task.
Hurzeler, the Brighton manager, became angry by the tackle and said, “It doesn’t look good, to be honest.” The game looked like it would be quite challenging. The performance, in my opinion, lacked quality. We can play more effectively together, but first you need to win games of rough and tumble. It was a challenging task.
“It’s difficult to handle, but that’s the nature of football. Fouls like this shouldn’t be allowed. On the pitch, this is not how we should conduct ourselves.
