Brighton & Hove Albion Head Coach, Fabian Hurzeler has praised Diego Gomez for his “hardworking” ethic.
Gomez opened the scoring with a long distance strike in their 2-0 victory at home to Brentford to go second in the Premier League.
With the Paraguay international now away on the international break, Hurzeler reflected on Gomez’s qualities as he spoke to brightonandhovealbion.com about his work ethic and reliability.
“I think that shows Diego Gomez is a player who always puts the team first. He’s so reliable. He’s such a hardworking player.”
Hurzeler added that Gomez’s attitude eventually translates into reward in the form of goals, as he added: “And you have these things, then you get the rewards by scoring these goals.
“I think it’s also a prime example if a player has belief and confidence in himself, and therefore, I think it’s important that everyone is contributing to our culture and to our environment.”
Hurzeler also quipped that he hadn’t expected Gomez to score against Brentford on his left foot after struggling to find the net on that foot in training.
“It’s a funny story because on Saturday he trained shooting with the left foot and he shot once, twice, the third time, and I couldn’t see him scoring with the left foot. The shots weren’t great.
“I asked him after the game where he got this quality from overnight. It’s a huge improvement in a very short period!”
