Óscar Fernández: “I’ve got to praise the teamwork in this morale-boosting win”

Valencia CF Mestalla head coach Óscar Fernández spoke in post-match press conference following a goal-fest in the derby win by a comprehensive 5-0 win over Atletico Levante that saw them collect their first three points of the season.

"I’ve said it a million times before, the dressing room deserved some joy for the work they were putting in and it came about today with a derby win. These are above all three moral-bossing points to help the players see that we are on the right path and working well we’ve got to keep going success comes with demand and happy for the dressing room.  

 The team had a similar start to the game, trying to dominate and create chances and they have been clinical something we lacked in recent Sundays, we had a bright five minute spell and we were clinical.  After the 3-0 we stayed compact and dictated the tempo.

 We had further chances in the second half and we scored two goals in the second half taking the initiative as every weekend but we were clinical today and we kept a clean sheet  and that is the way forward to continue with the grind and I keep today’s teamwork".
