BRIGHTON -- Roberto De Zerbi has always been a dreamer. When he was managing at Sassuolo, he used to keep a notepad and pen by his bed. Even when sleeping, he'd dream football and something would click, so he'd wake up and make a note of it.
Those visions naturally change with time and experience. For all the praise levelled in his direction since he took over Brighton in late September, and the teams left in their wake after being exposed by De Zerbi's tactical acumen, he still dreams, reluctant to put a limit on expectations.
