Vitinha is getting ready to play in the Champions League final for PSG against Inter Milan, while Conor Coady reflects on his time at Wolves.
Wolves brought Vitinha on loan for the 2020/21 season, with the Portuguese talent working under Nuno Espirito Santo in his final season as manager.
Adapting to English football was a challenge for Vitinha, who struggled with the intense training sessions and only made 19 Premier League appearances under Nuno. His standout moment came when he scored a spectacular long-range goal against Chorley in the FA Cup.
Former coach Nuno and Conor Coady both believe that Vitinha’s progress at Wolves was hindered by the presence of Joao Moutinho. Coady specifically mentions that the duo of Moutinho and Ruben Neves made it difficult for Vitinha to break into the team.
As he prepares for the Champions League final, Coady praises Vitinha’s determination and reveals that he was always eager to play. While facing competition from established players like Moutinho and Neves, Vitinha remained positive and determined to prove himself.
Since leaving Wolves, Vitinha has thrived in the Champions League, earning praise for his outstanding performances. He has drawn comparisons to Luka Modric and has the opportunity to emulate the Real Madrid legend by winning the Champions League.
