Sunderland boss Regis le Bris has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against newly promoted Ipswich at Portman Road (kick-off 15:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
On the upcoming campaign, which will feature European football in the Europa League: "I am excited. We are going into one of the most exiting seasons in 52 years. It will be challenging but a big boost for the club and the lads last season earned it."
On team news: "All of our player are available expect Simon [Adingra]. We will see about the game time because they [all the players] are not the same fitness-wise."
Asked how important the first game of the season is, Le Bris replied: "It is important to start well because you build the momentum, but you still have an opponent. And you can lose - that is possible. The only thing we have under control is us and after that, you will see the results."
