TA wrote an article that Brighton winger Sanzao started the season poorly, due to the reasons including foot injury and teammate changes.

The obvious sign of poor form of Sanzao appeared in the away game against Chelsea last weekend. British media believed that Brighton coach Hulzer replaced him in the 67th minute, which was extremely unusual for a key player who started 34 games in 44 Premier League games coached by Hulzer.

Although Sanzao had created a red card for the team through a successful high-pressure while on the court, his threat was reduced in general. Of course, there are some objective reasons behind this: on the one hand, he was troubled by a foot injury and withdrew from this month's Japanese national team game; on the other hand, Esturpinian, a left-back partner who cooperated with him, has transferred to Milan in the summer, and he needs time to establish a tacit understanding with his new teammates De Qupe or Cadiolu.

head coach Hulzelle publicly stated that the whole team agreed that Sanzao "can play better" and "must have a greater impact on the game", but also emphasized that he will get the support of the team and help him get back form through challenges.
