Laudrup – That Was Impressive

Unsurprisingly, Michael Laudrup was a happy man after watching his side demolish QPR at Loftus Road

“That was impressive,” the Dane said. “Winning the first game in my debut – and also the team’s first in their second season in the Premier – away and 5-0. I don’t think anyone could’ve dreamed about that.

“Of course, the most important thing is the team and I am very happy for the players.

“Last season I think it took until January to win the first away game and it is very important that you know you can win an away game as it gives you a lot of confidence for the rest of the season.

“If you know or think you will always lose or maybe only draw, you have to win all your home games.

“It has given us a lot, a lot of confidence, which we can bring to Swansea for the next two games to try win at home.

“Well, if I had never played football myself or been a manager maybe I could think that, but I have been in football for 30 years,” he said.

“I know, and we all know, that there will be bad days, bad weeks and maybe even bad months, but what is important is when we get results like that we’ve have to take it and use it.

“I think it is very important for a small team to start the season winning an away game. I think that’s very important.”
