Ronny Deila was satisfied with the handsome 5-1 win against Akureyri. He was pleased with the energy the team exuded and the pressure that was maintained.
"I am very satisfied with today's performance. This was not an easy match, there were high expectations to count out the other team right away. But we did a good job, we stayed patient and we kept the pressure on. We should have scored more goals, but you saw the energy in the team. Casper and Roman got to make minutes and Philip made his debut. It was positive today. "I would be sad should we not continue now. It will be fine. We are also going to use this match to improve ourselves. We are going to field a strong team in Iceland and go full for the win. That match will also be important to give other players minutes."
Roman Yaremchuk scored a clever fifth Bruges goal. "I am very happy for Roman. He moves much better since the day I started here as coach. You can see he is sharper and playing with confidence. And that goal today is good for him and us. We can always use a good Roman. The fans also saw the energy to put pressure and attack. The atmosphere was good, it's nice that we can build a good relationship with the supporters." (KN)
