Albion's skipper is relishing the start of the new season.
It was a long pre-season, but I think we are ready."
Bruno
Brighton & Hove Albion captain Bruno says his side are now fully prepared for the season ahead, despite a 1-0 defeat to Lazio in the club’s final pre-season friendly yesterday.
*

The Spaniard reflected on a solid performance against the Serie A club, as he adjusts to playing in the heart of Albion’s defence.
*
He said, “It was a long pre-season, but I think we are ready. We lost against a good side, had some chances and some good periods where we were looking quite sharp, but now the proper competition starts.
*
“When you play against good sides, that’s when you give your best and I think we played well against Lazio.
*
“It’s difficult to play Italian teams because they enjoy defending, are very good tactically and it’s tough to score against them.
*
“For me it’s tough [playing at centre back], I know I’ve played there before, but it’s difficult.
*
“In England it’s perhaps even more difficult playing against strikers that weigh more than me and are stronger, but I try to play as smartly as possible and I try to give my best.”

The skipper looked ahead to the season opener at Derby next Saturday and says the squad must quickly erase the memories of last season.
*
“We know how tough it is to play against Derby because they’ve got a really good squad and the expectations there are so high. We are just focused on giving 100 per cent and that’s it.
*
“It’s so difficult when you’ve had such a great season the year beforehand. It’s not difficult to keep that intensity, but what’s difficult is to get the same points and the same results.
*
“Sometimes it’s about the small details and we can’t think about last season and just look ahead to this one.
*
“Last season is gone; every single game is a cup final for us and we need to take each one as it comes.”
