Paulo Sousa: I am pleased with my players

The two managers spoke to the media following the match

Paulo Sousa:
"The first game of the league season is always important. The opponents have begun this season well, and have progressed in the Europa league, which I would like to congratulate them for. That just confirmed that we were up against a very strong side today, and they will also be challenging for the league title this year. I am very satisfied with my players with the way they started the game, despite the fact that I had to make changes to my starting line up minutes before the kick off. The players did everything I asked for before the game. It was important that we managed to score at the start of the match, and this resulted in the confidence of the players going up."

Kis Károly:
"Videoton deserved their win today. We did not show the type of football we are capable of, and which we have produced in the Europa league so far and even against Kecskemet. We knew that Videoton are a very good side. We took a close look at them, but we conceded an early goal and that affected us."
