Brighton striker Welbeck: Opposition teams praise our style of play

Brighton striker Danny Welbeck says rival pros enjoy the way they play.

Brighton meet Manchester United in the FA Cup semifinal today.

"We get a lot of plaudits from all over the country. After games we have [opposition] players coming up to us saying 'You guys are bopping it', all that sort of stuff. We do get a lot of good feedback," said Welbeck.

“It's great but the manager wants us to keep us pushing and get to the next level. He was happy but not overly happy with the last 10-15 minutes of the Chelsea game last week. That keeps everybody on their toes — if we want to get to the next level once we go 2-1 up we still want to control the game."

“Winning the FA Cup was a highlight, but it also gives you that hunger to do it again and to lift more trophies. If you have the opportunity I think you should go for it at full pelt. We have players who have won trophies and the latest is Alexis [Mac Allister] who has won the World Cup, so to have players like that in the team is massive. It might be something small, but it might be key advice that you can pass on and which goes a long way."
