In Matchday 5 of the Premier League, Newcastle United defeated Hull City 2-1 at home, securing their first home win of the season. After the match, Newcastle manager Jaissle was interviewed, discussing the team's response after losing to Leeds United, the current injury situation, and accumulating 8 points in the first 5 matches.

Congratulations on the win and your first home victory. What pleased you most about this match?

The thing that pleased me most was our excellent response after losing to Leeds United. Our performance in the first half was very good, and there's no doubt we could have scored a third goal and sealed the game earlier. We were completely in control during that period.

In the second half, you could see the players getting more and more tired as the game progressed. At the same time, we had 9 players unavailable today. So I am really proud and have great respect for what the players did in the final stages of the match. At that point, defending in our own box was very difficult, but everyone was fully committed, and everyone fought with all their might for these three points. That's something we can rely on.

You started very quickly, scoring two goals in the first seven minutes. Was this something you hoped for before the game, or a pleasant coincidence?

As I just said, we wanted to give the right response after losing to Leeds United. We are proud that when the team needed to perform, we did. We also wanted to show a clear response in front of our fans. So I think, looking at the entire 90 minutes, it was a thoroughly deserved victory.

Towards the end of the first half, Wissner's penalty was saved. At that moment, did you think this might be a turning point in the game?

This is very normal in football, especially in the Premier League. If you don't take the opportunity to score a third goal, if you don't seize the chance to punish your opponent, then in the second half, you usually have to commit more to defence and endure some pressure in the game. But in the end, we did it, so I'm proud of the team.

From the performance in the final quarter of the game, are there any lessons to be learned? Or was it mainly due to the players being very tired, compounded by the impact of injury problems on the team?

You've summarized it very well; the players were indeed very tired, and at the same time, we faced such an injury situation. With 9 players unavailable today, this naturally reflects in the performance on the pitch. But the players did an excellent job until the end of the game. You could clearly see the fighting spirit they showed. So again, they deserve these three points.

Looking at the overall situation, there will be a 23-day gap before the next match. With 8 points from the first 5 matches, given everything that happened this summer, how satisfied are you with this achievement?

Overall, I'm genuinely very satisfied. You can also see that we've encountered some external challenges. At the same time, everyone knows that the club is currently undergoing a major transition. So, under these circumstances, the team and I are very proud of the performance the players have shown so far. They are fully committed to the process we are going through. Now it's time to summarize and reflect, and we also hope that some injured players will recover.
