Udinese patron Gianpaolo Pozzo admits he's delighted with the team's form.

Pozzo was speaking at the 126th birthday celebration for the club.

He said, "We can be satisfied with the performance and ranking in these first fifteen league games. It is thanks to everyone, players and staff. It will be a long way to go, but I am confident."

On the family's ownership, Pozzo also said: "We have been present for a very long time, a third of these 126 years and we are here to celebrate this particular moment. I must say thank you also to my predecessors, because without all these companies we'd not reach this goal."
