VACLÍK: "I'M VERY HAPPY WITH THE THREE POINTS AND THE CLEAN SHEET"

The keeper stressed the importance of not conceding goals. "Yes, all the team are doing a very good job, especially in defence, they've only had two shots against us. So, everyone's worked really well".

"I think it was a very good first game, there were seven new players today. Pre-season has been very long, with good results against big teams like Liverpool and Everton. Today was a difficult match because it was Espanyol's fifth competitive match. We've brough three points home, and now we can begin working again". 

The goalie also spoke about Fernando's defensive work: "He's done a very good job in midfield, always covering the defence. We always need a player like that in front of the defence".
