Cillessen: "I'm happy to have helped the team"

Valencia CF made a change of goalkeeper for the game against Athletic Club, and Jasper Cillessen commented on his return between the sticks in a post-match interview with VCF Media.
Returning to action
I'm happy to have played again, and to have helped the team.
The game
I think that the game was very open for both of us in the first half. There weren't many chances for either side. They made it 0-1 and then the second yellow card for Maxi Gomez made it more difficult for us. We showed a lot of character to score when down to ten men, and to earn a point today.
Coming back after two defeats
It wasn't easy, after two defeats. Now we have more confidence. It isn't easy to play against Athletic, but in the end getting a point in this way is good.
I've only played in one of our games. It's not easy, but the calendar is the same for every team. There's not much time, but we know this and we keep going.
Playing against Cadiz
It's not easy to play away against Cadiz, but with this team we will try to win there.
