Brighton goalkeeper Jason Steele says adapting to new head coach Fabian Hurzeler's style of play will take time - but the process is under way.
"Rome wasn't built in a day and I think it's all about laying the foundations," he told BBC Radio Sussex.
"The manager has spoken to us about that a lot, we have the lay the foundations before we try to get to the top of the house.
"You can see we're doing that. We're playing really aggressive, transition football which maybe we haven't for a little while.
"You can see how dangerous we are when we win the ball up high. We look a real threat going forward.
"We've got competition all over the pitch. In every position there are lads that the manager can trust. We've built that over a period of time with the amazing recruitment we have and the togetherness and the team spirit and the culture we're building. The boss has options all over and it's up to us to put in displays to make him question his team selection."
New £30m signing from Newcastle Yankuba Minteh has caught the eye so far in pre-season and Steele is excited to see his impact in the Premier League.
"There's going to be expectation on him because he cost a lot of money but he's got the shoulders to deal with that, without a doubt," he added.
"He's got that energy, that vibrance, charisma. He's got a lot of promising attributes that are going to excite a lot of fans this season."
