The Seagulls take on Wolves tomorrow in their first home game for four weeks. De Zerbi said he was proud of his side in defeat as they lost at Nottingham Forest in midweek, three days after penalty trauma at Wembley.
Roberto De Zerbi said: “We are looking forward to play in our stadium to receive the fans’ support. The players need the passion of our fans and I would like to play with 12 players tomorrow, eleven on the pitch and one in the stand.”
Albion have played their last four Premier League games away, in which they lost twice. After the FA Cup and Nottingham loss, they look to redeem themselves in order to tackle the last spell of the season.
Roberto De Zerbi said: “We should have forgotten the Wembley match but I think we took the disappointment to Nottingham. We will improve by playing this level of games more often. I´m not talking about quality of players, I´m talking about mentality. I loved my players more in Nottingham and more in Wembley than at Stamford Bridge (where Albion beat Chelsea). Our fans should be proud of Nottingham – we gave everything.”
