Danny Welbeck, the Brighton striker, has opened up about his journey with the Albion so far, and it's not all been smooth sailing. Speaking in an exclusive interview, Welbeck reflected on the team's performance this season and the lessons they've learned the hard way.
Welbeck, who is backing the American Express Shop Small campaign, acknowledges that Brighton has been a great fit for him. "The team has a fantastic atmosphere, and I feel like I've really settled in," he said. "The fans are amazing, and the coaching staff have been incredibly supportive."
However, despite the positive vibes, Welbeck is quick to admit that the season has not been without its challenges. "We've had some tough games, and we've learned some valuable lessons from them," he explained. "Sometimes, you have to go through the tough times to come out stronger on the other side."
One of the biggest lessons Welbeck has learned is the importance of adaptability. "The Premier League is an incredibly competitive league, and you have to be able to adapt to different teams and different playing styles," he said. "We've had to adjust our approach mid-game, and that's not always easy to do. But it's something we've been working on, and I think we're getting better at it."
Welbeck also praised the team's resilience and determination. "We've had some really tough games this season, but the team has always bounced back," he said. "That's a sign of a strong team, and I'm proud to be a part of it."
Off the pitch, Welbeck has been busy supporting the American Express Shop Small campaign. The campaign aims to encourage people to shop at local, independent businesses, and Welbeck is a keen advocate. "I think it's really important to support local businesses," he said. "They're the backbone of the community, and they need our support to thrive. I love shopping at independent stores in Brighton, and I think everyone should give it a try."
As the season continues, Welbeck is optimistic about Brighton's chances. "We've got a talented team, and we're working hard to achieve our goals," he said. "I'm excited to see what the rest of the season holds for us."
