NOr would it be crazy to say that Solomon Benjamin March (Eastbourne, 20-7-1994) se ha erigidoalong with Odegaard and Rashford, in the best player in the Premier League after the World Cup in Qatar 2022.
The four goals and three of the five assists that he has added this season have come after the break. They have all been, not by chance, under the orders of Roberto de Zerbi, who has relocated Marchused to playing winger in Potter’s 1-3-4-2-1, as a midfielder on the right in his 1-4-2-3-1. His left-handed strike, with a changed leg, is a real deal.
He made his debut with Brighton, then in the Championship (Second Division), in 2013, under the command of Scar García Junyent. He came from modest Lewes, who was a member of the Seventh division of ‘football’. He was just 19 years old and has already accumulated 258 games, 18 goals and 27 assists with the ‘seagulls’.
Solly March’s huge goal
“Roberto de Zerbi has taken his football to another level”
Never, mind you, had he had such an impact on the result as now, at 28 years old. The icing on the cake was the victory over Liverpool (3-0). March ‘opened the can’ with his first double as a professional and assisted Welbeck in the third. He had previously scored a great goal in an individual game against Everton (1-4) and another, even better, with a powerful shot from outside the box against Southampton (1-3). Targets that help Brighton to remain seventh, just three points behind Europe.

“Roberto de Zerbi has taken his football to another level. He has added finishing ability to his game on the wingachieving the first double of his career”, assured Alan Shearer, who did not hesitate to include him in his ‘Eleven of the Day’ along with Rashford, Odegaard, Ramsdale or Luke Shaw.
“I think that every time he can play better. People do not know the abilities and the potential that March has. I don’t know if many clubs have asked about him, but he has the technical and physical quality to play in the Champions League”, De Zerbi warned already in October, before his scoring explosion.
March, who has only been capped by England at under 21 level, attributes his improvement to De Zerbi: “Long live for football. He sends you messages at dawn with ‘clips’ about things you can improve.”

The goal was one of those pending subjects. In fact, they crossed a bet, like Valverde with Ancelotti. “De Zerbi asked me: ‘How many goals can you score?’ I think I said eight.” The former coach of Sassuolo and Shakhtar is not satisfied: “If Solly and Mitoma score more than 10 goals, we can reach a high position at the end of the season.”
