Hammers Start A New Adventure!
"In the beginning you don't know how the players will react to what you are telling them, But to be honest, they made me feel very comfortable since I arrived here.
"The reception was fantastic. The fans were shouting my name but I couldn't hear a thing - my mind was completely crossed!
"The fans were very supportive and they have made me feel very welcome here since I arrived. Hopefully we will get better and better for them.
"It was okay, as a performance. I have to say that for 70 minutes we were very good, but then we had to concede something because we were playing a very offensive game, we had run a lot.
"But I am very pleased with the victory and some good football as well. We are on the way and I am very proud of the players - they have been fantastic.
"David Di Michele could have had a hat-trick and he played very well. He should share the credit with the other strikers, though.
"Cole was occasionally up against two defenders today and he was unbelievable.
"He started playing with me when I was at Chelsea and I feel he can become much better.
"There are things he can improve on, but he has all the qualities to play for the national team.
"We know that it will be a very tough season.
"The top four are really top teams, but it's important that we improve on what we achieved last season.
"If the players continue working as they have been, they can achieve that."
