Slot also discussed the importance of the Europa Conference League to Feyenoord, and admitted that he is keen to see how his team performs against Brighton.

"This is a big game for us," Slot said. "We want to do well in this competition and we believe that we can beat Brighton. We have a good team and we are confident that we can get a positive result."

Slot also praised the performances of Feyenoord's young players this season, and hinted that he could give some of them a chance to impress against Brighton.

"We have some very talented young players at Feyenoord," Slot said. "I am always looking for opportunities to give them a chance to play and I think this game could be a good opportunity for some of them to show what they can do."

Finally, Slot spoke about the importance of the fans' support and urged them to create a great atmosphere at De Kuip on Thursday night.

"We need our fans to be behind us on Thursday night," Slot said. "They can make a big difference and help us get the result that we want."
