Winger’s happy
Return
Yp 8;I@8E B8ALD98 and try to keep smiling. With the past I have had, also there are worst things in life. The most important thing for me is my family and as long as they are healthy.
“For me football is after. I’m not saying I don’t care about football, I care a lot. It’s my job, it’s my life. But I just try to wake up everyday like this and keep saying to myself if I keep working hard, then good things will come and that’s how it is.” Jurgen Locadia put Brighton 2-0 ahead before Ashley Cole’s late consolation for Derby – his first-ever FA Cup goal.
Rams boss Frank Lampard believes their cup exit has given them “clarity”.
Seventh in the table, he said: “We mustn’t forget our bread and butter is the Championship and we are in a position now where we are fighting with a lot of teams for those top spots and the play-off spots.
“What this does is give us a real clarity, a real focus on the 15 league games we have left.” BRIGHTON (4-5-1): Button
