00:00Sunderland head coach Regis Labrice has made clear that he and his staff are demanding
00:06of their players as they look to keep the club in the Premier League.
00:11We are always really demanding with the group and the players so good probably we were consistent
00:20in our style of play, I think this togetherness we had last season was really key for the
00:29start and I think we showed this consistency especially out of position, we were strong
00:35hard to beat and we still have this possibility in our game to create counter-attacks, fast
00:44attacks and to be efficient as well on set pieces so this part was really positive.
00:49After that we have many details to improve in many phases.
00:52Got the impression from all the players as individuals, they look very comfortable in
00:58the run since playing at that level?
01:01Yes for the Premier League opener, at least for this fixture it was the case but from the
01:08beginning I think the connection with the squad went well.
01:13And Middlesbrough boss Rob Edwards has spoken on his side's fixture with Norwich City as well
01:19as some of the new faces that have arrived at the Riverside.
01:23Well yeah we'll certainly try to keep this run going, we're really looking forward to it,
01:27it's been a good week but well aware of the size of the task at hand, Norwich are a big
01:33football club especially in this league, got good players and going there is never easy.
01:39So big challenge but really looking forward to it.
01:42You've got some new faces to pick from as well, well one new face who's here, Sverre Nipan,
01:47can you tell us about him, how he'll fit in?
01:49Yeah we're really excited to have Sverre at the football club, he's a really talented player,
01:55we're thankful to Manchester City and Sverre and his team for trusting us in the next step
02:02of his development but he's a talented footballer and slots nicely into this group now up against a lot of competition.
02:13Let's hear it again!
