Kluivert: "We are a team and we have confidence"

The Dutchman reflects on a vital victory

Returning to action against Celta Vigo in a different role, Justin Kluivert scored for Valencia CF in the 1-2 win at Balaídos. He talked to VCF Media after the game.

Happy with the three points
I'm very happy. We won 1-2 today and I came back with a goal. I'm also very happy for the fans.

A win for the team
It was a difficult match away from home. At 1-1 it was tough, but in one move we scored and then everything was better. In football it is normal for you to suffer, especially when you play away from home. We are a team and we have confidence, good fans and a good team, as well as the players who can come on and score - like what happened today.

Returning with a goal
Today I came back and I played as a number 9. I know I can do it, and on top of that I scored a goal. I am very happy to have returned and scored straight away.

The spectacular support
We do it for them. They travelled I don't know how many hours by car. They couldn't go back to Valencia with zero points in the bag. Now, with three, they can go home in peace. The fans show why Valencia CF are a great club -not only at home, but also away from home. This is very good.
