Mouctar Diakhaby spoke to the media after his goal helped Valencia CF to a win over Sevilla FC on LaLiga Matchday 1.

The victory

It's a really good win. We're very happy with the win. We fought hard and we deserved it.

The difficulties of playing Sevilla FC

It's very difficult to win at this ground. We prepared very well for this game and we got the win.

His role in midfield

Overall, I feel good. Physically, as I'm not used to playing in midfield, it was a little difficult, but overall I felt good during the game. You have to give your all in every game.

Scoring his goal

I'm not used to scoring that type of goal, because I'm not usually in that area. Today I played in that part of the pitch and I was able to score an important goal.

The way to go
We need to keep going in the same way at home and be strong. We need to work more and keep going.
