Hurzeler gives verdict on final friendly and says: We are ready for the Prem

But he believes they are ready for the Premier League season.

The Seagulls beat Bundesliga opponents Wolfsburg 2-1 to follow an earlier 2-0 win behind closed doors between squad members from the two clubs.

Georginio Rutter and Max De Cuyper were on target in the main event.

Albion head coach Hurzeler said: “Overall, both teams, we played well. They were very intense, especially the first half and some moments of the second half.

“After the (Wolfsburg) goal in the second game we struggled a little bit.

“We weren't that intense anymore, we couldn't keep the standard high like we did in the first half.

“We have to know that we are in a comfortable situation but if we concede a goal we have to go back to our high standards and our high levels, and I think we weren't able to make the switch.

“Therefore we have to improve, but overall very positive.

“Hopefully no injury so far, from what I heard, and now we can prepare for Fulham.”

Brajan Gruda and Jeremy Sarmiento scored in the early fixture.

Hurzeler said: “The game in the morning we were very dominant. We controlled the opponent.

“Today (in the later game) I think we controlled the opponent for 70 minutes, and then when we conceded the goal we lost a little bit of control.

“That's why I meant that we have to keep the standards and the levels high regarding our decision-making.

“But, overall, both teams quite positive, and that's good for me.

“There's a lot of competition, and now we can look positive in the next week.
