Brighton veteran Lallana: You just don't want to let down De Zerbi

Brighton veteran Adam Lallana has likened manager Roberto de Zerbi to his former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.

De Zerbi has guided the Seagulls into the current top four.

And Lallana says: "He is so incredibly demanding, but I always want to impress him and ensure that he is not disappointed in me.

"His demands are incredibly high.

"As demanding as Jrgen (Klopp) I would say, but in a different way."

Lallana has been working as part of De Zerbi's coaching staff on a part-time basis, along with being part of the senior squad.
