Brighton aims for fifth, ignoring WSL standings

Brighton & Hove Albion's head coach, Dario Vidošić, is not focused on the team’s position in the Barclays Women’s Super League table. His team is currently in a strong position to finish fifth, but he prefers to concentrate on each game individually. The Seagulls will play Leicester City today. As Brighton prepares for the match, Vidošić highlights that the battle for fifth place involves more teams than just Brighton and Liverpool. He believes that any team in the mix can perform well on any given weekend. Vidošić stated, “I don’t look at fifth, sixth, first or second... There are six games left, and if we win those, we can get a maximum of 18 points.” Vidošić emphasizes the importance of training and team performance. He wants his players to stay focused on their actions rather than their ranking. He notes that Leicester City is a challenging opponent, currently only three points clear of the relegation zone. Leicester's recent performance has ramped up their motivation, making them a dangerous rival. Vidošić recalls past encounters with Leicester, stating they posed a challenge, especially during their League Cup match. "We know that every single weekend, every single day, we have to prepare to the absolute maximum," he said. Brighton’s match against Leicester City is set to kick off at 3 PM.
