While attending the most recent Premier League Darts event, Lewis Dunk made a joke about Fabian Hurzeler, the manager of Brighton, by holding up a sign that poked fun at him.
At the event that took place in Brighton, the Seagulls defender was present to witness Luke Littler’s incredible performance, which included two nine-dart finishes.
During the final match of the year, Littler defeated Nathan Aspinall by a score of 6-3, thereby securing his second night victory of the year.
A sign that read “Hurzeler IN” was displayed to the camera by Dunk while the game was in progress. The sign had the words “out” and “in” crossed out from it multiple times.
With the intention of making fun of Seagulls supporters who have been inconsistent in their support of Hurzeler, the injured captain wanted to insult them.
At the same time that the German is making his way through his first Premier League season, Brighton appears to have been going through a difficult season.
When the team went eight matches without winning, beginning in November and continuing through January, fans started to express their displeasure.
Most notably, the Seagulls were defeated by Nottingham Forest by a score of 7-0 in the previous month, which caused them to fall to the tenth position, which was their lowest position of the season.
On the internet, supporters demanded that Hurzeler be fired, and some of them even went so far as to demand that Roberto De Zerbi be brought back.
However, the loss to Forest served as the impetus for a remarkable run of five consecutive victories, which has propelled Brighton into eighth place.
The team coached by Hurzeler also won the FA Cup by defeating Newcastle by a score of 2-1, which earned them the opportunity to exact revenge on Forest in the quarterfinals.
The German head coach has guided his team to recent success despite the fact that several key players, including James Milner, Joel Veltman, and Ferdi Kadioglu, have suffered injuries due to their respective roles.
In addition, Hurzeler disclosed that he was also observing the darts competition on Thursday evening, albeit from a distance.
“When I went into the building this morning, my voice was cracking and I was in a lot of pain. I immediately stated that I wasn’t at the darts,” the boss from Brighton said.
Despite the fact that I was not present to cheer for Luke Littler, I am a huge fan of this sport, and I have already been to the Ally Pally to watch how they are performing.
“In my opinion, they have an incredible talent, and they put on an incredible show…
It is a magnet, as evidenced by the quantity of people who follow it.
It makes me happy whenever the players are able to unwind and enjoy themselves together, and I believe that darts is an excellent social event that allows people to have fun together.
During the morning of today, I was able to view some photographs and videos, and I am pleased to report that we have a strong social bond within this team. Not only were there players, but there were also some staff members who were present and enjoyed the evening.
This social bond between each other, this sense of togetherness, is exactly what we need to establish for ourselves here.
You cannot produce it through the use of artificial events; rather, you can achieve it through natural evenings by drinking one, two, three, or four beers and being in a positive frame of mind.
As a result, I am pleased to hear that the players and the staff members who were present enjoyed it.
