Brighton coach Fabian Herzeller distanced European football insurance talks before the Premier League work in the middle of the week.
Segulls climbed the table after achieving a impressive victory over Southampton on Saturday and now only three points against Bournemouth in sixth place, which they face on Tuesday.
But the German refused to predict whether his team could return to Europe with a great tour until the end of the season.
He spoke before the game, he said: “When you win the matches, there is always a good atmosphere. We are grateful for that, but it is hard work. We need to keep the momentum and understand the reason for this momentum.
“I don’t look too much on the table. You can just influence how you play. At the end of the season, you can look at the table. But for the time being, it’s a game via the game and try to get the best performance of the players.
“The main thing in this club is to develop young players and the group. We had a lot of new signatures when we started. Now it comes to achieving internal goals in the place we want to go. We will see what is happening at the end of the season, but it is too early to talk about reaching Europe We have to wait for the right moment to talk about it.

Cherry in the city
Brighton has a tremendous opportunity to take advantage of points with its European competitors when he visits Bournemouth Amex.
Seagulls has a worse goal difference for its opponents, which means that winning cannot raise them to the sixth depending on other results, but it will put them in this mix.
But the Andoni Iraola team was one of the surprises of the season in 2024-25, and on their day it can match any Premier League club.
Hurzler realizes this and admits that it is difficult to know what to expect from them.
He added: “It is difficult to create a plan against Bournemouth, but it is difficult to do this for any of the clubs in the league. Bournemouth is very clear in the way they play.
“They are very intense. It will be difficult for us to compete against them and we need to be mentally and physically at the highest level to be ready for them.
“But we will be able to do this because we have proven this in the past weeks. We have to maintain standards and improve to be ready to challenge against Bournemouth.
“Dango Ouatraa, Antoine Semenyo and Justin Kluivet are all very fast and sporting. They are all very good in transformations. But we need to try to avoid these transitional moments.”

Pedro Power
If Brighton wins, they will need to rely on Joao Pedro quality, which will finally return to the model.
The Brazilian scored the opening match against Southampton and is likely to get a gesture to start again in such an important match.
“Joao is always self -confident. He knows that he can decide the game with one business. He has not only this thinking, but also the quality and skills needed to do this as it was proven last week.
“It is important for me how to act as a team player and proved last week that he was always there for his teammates. He showed me that he is really committed to this club and wants to be the team player that everyone wants.
“I am very happy that he returned on the field and deserves what he gets because of his behavior and his position in training and of course his quality.”
