Sometimes even in the best soccer league in the world, you can find crazy moments, ones that we wouldn't be surprised if they happened in the A League in Israel or in any other remote league around the world.
During the week, the Brighton team from the Premier League released their coach Graham Potter to Chelsea.
The Blues paid £20 million for him, but left the Seagulls without a replacement on the lines.
It turns out that the management of Brighton are in no hurry to fill the gap, and decided that for now the team's active player Adam Lalana, who is suffering from an injury and currently unable to play, will stand on the lines.
The 34-year-old Lalana managed to play three times this season before getting injured, and he is supposed to fill Potter's place at least until September 1, by which time Brighton hope to sign a permanent and experienced coach.
Lana has no training experience, and with him on the lines will be Andrew Crofts, coach of the club's under-21 team.
The strange move comes precisely after a very successful start to the season in Brighton's terms, which after six games is in fourth place leading to the Champions League, with four wins, a draw and a single loss.
The Lana-Crofts duo was supposed to debut on the lines already tomorrow (Saturday) against Bournemouth, but due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the Premier League games were postponed, like the other sporting events in the kingdom.
