Brighton's Bart Verbruggen tells Sky Sports about excelling under Roberto De Zerbi and his ambition to become the world's best goalkeeper.
Bart Verbruggen's sprawling save from Mohamed Salah late in Brighton's 2-1 loss to Liverpool has just been nominated for March's Premier League save of the month but it is typical of the 21-year-old that he does not actually rate it that highly. 'It was good to not let them score a third,' he says. 'But we were rushing to get the equaliser at the time, so I wasn't thinking, 'Oh, what a nice save'.
' The De Zerbi factor explainedVerbruggen credits the club's wider staff for his development this season, mentioning goalkeeping coaches Jack Stern and Ricard Segarra specifically, as well as goalkeeping analyst Josh Morris. But his warmest words are reserved for head coach De Zerbi. 'From the moment I arrived I have felt his faith and trust,' he says. 'What I really appreciate about him is that he always supports me, even in moments when I'm not so good.
