“It’s just the beginning. So it’s not because of a very good first day that I’m going to lose my stability and my discipline and let the players think differently from myself.

The team [Swansea] was in a difficult moment and they stayed in the Premier League. They did well to do that. One point away against a good team like Southampton is a very positive result for them so I am waiting for a difficult match.”
