Wolves have been on a remarkable run, with six consecutive wins, and former player Lee Naylor noticed something unique in the team’s warm-up routine before their match against Leicester City. Naylor observed that the Wolves defense warmed up together as a collective, which he had never seen before.
This collective approach to warm-ups reflects the significant work Vitor Pereira has done to improve the team’s defensive solidity. Under previous manager Gary O’Neil, Wolves struggled defensively, conceding 40 goals in 16 Premier League games and keeping only one clean sheet.
In contrast, under Pereira, Wolves have kept six clean sheets and conceded 21 goals. The team’s newfound defensive stability has been a key factor in their recent success. Pereira’s emphasis on teamwork and cohesion has clearly paid off, and the signing of Emmanuel Agbadou has been a major contributor to this improvement.
Agbadou has been impressive since joining the club, and his presence has also elevated the performances of other players, such as Toti Gomes. Pereira’s impact on Wolves has been transformative, and he is likely to be named Manager of the Month for April.
The Portuguese manager’s ability to get the best out of his players and implement effective tactics has turned Wolves into a much more solid team. Their current form is a testament to Pereira’s hard work and dedication to improving the club.
