Swansea head coach Vitor Matos:<\/p>\n
“It was a game where we showed the right mindset. We knew it was a game where we needed to set the right tone in terms of intensity, in terms of dominance.<\/p>\n
“I think we showed that. We scored the goal which helped us to calm down and have better control of the game.<\/p>\n
“Second goal from a free-kick and I think it was a good game \u2013 clean sheet, goals, I am really happy.”<\/p>\n
Sheffield Wednesday boss Henrik Pedersen:<\/p>\n
“The last two days we have had two really good training sessions. We changed to a back four to get one man higher up in the press to see if we can win balls higher up the pitch and also have an extra man in the offensive transition.<\/p>\n
“We saw a positive energy in the first 19 minutes. We had good pressing situations, good sequences on the ball. Then they score the goal, they played through us, and we also have to say Swansea is a fantastic team.<\/p>\n
“After the goal they got more confident on the ball and started to move us around. We wanted to be compact but it was difficult for us. It was tough to press really tight against them.<\/p>\n
“Second half we came out with a good energy and started to win balls high up the pitch, but we also lost balls. The biggest challenge today was that when we won the ball we also lost the ball. We didn’t create what we wanted.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Swansea head coach Vitor Matos: “It was a game where we showed the right mindset.
