In a surprising turn of events, Wolves manager Vitor Pereira expressed astonishment at his team’s stellar performance in a 3-0 victory against struggling Leicester in his debut match. Pereira, who took over from Gary O’Neil, saw Goncalo Guedes, Rodrigo Gomes, and Matheus Cunha score in the first half, leading the team to a much-needed win.
Pereira commended his players for their true spirit, confidence, and tactical intelligence on the field, emphasizing the importance of making both the team and supporters proud with their performance. Despite arriving recently, Pereira believes in the quality of his squad and their potential to climb the table.
The manager was especially pleased with the team keeping a clean sheet, aiming to build confidence in their defensive abilities. On the other hand, Leicester, under Ruud van Nistelrooy’s management, struggled defensively, conceding 10 goals in four games and suffering consecutive losses.
Despite individual mistakes costing Leicester, Van Nistelrooy urged fans to support the team as a whole rather than singling out players. He acknowledged the difficulty Ward faced due to fan reaction but praised his composure in a difficult situation. Overall, both managers stressed the importance of unity and perseverance in overcoming challenges on the pitch.
