Vitor Pereira interview: Wolves coach says that the summer signatures need time, but will turn the Premier League season about | Football news

The wolves jumped this summer with six new players in the Premier League. To date, the fruits of this gambling have not come. Vitor Pereira believes they only need time. “Without time, it is similar to buying a lottery ticket,” he says Sky Sports. “You don’t know what will happen.”

After they saw prominent artists Matheus Cunha, Rayan Ait Nouri and Nelson Semeedo, Wolves invested the north of 100 million pounds on new players. They recruited them from Celta Vigo and Girona, from AZ Alkmaar and Genk, from Hellas Verona and Fluminense.

But five consecutive defeats confirmed that the Premier League is not ready to wait for the players. The late Tottenham tie is a tie last time, meaning that they are still waiting for their first victory in the competition this season and sitting at the bottom.

Pereira is uncomfortable there, as you might expect. A winner of the title in Portugal, Greece and China, this is not its natural height. “I am not used to being in this position,” he confesses. But Pereira’s message is that he believes himself, and most importantly, his players.

“This is the first time in my career that I am in this position, but I am very flexible.” “I have a lot of confidence in myself, in my employees, in our work. I have a lot of confidence in the players, in the club and in supporters.”

These fans definitely invite him. Pereira’s name was threatened in every season this season, and his team was hung twice last week. The phrase hunting may leave it – “First points and then calls” – thirsty now, but its popularity fades.

Although he himself denies this, the feeling remains that Pereira saved the wolves last season, as she seized a football team in the landing zone and continues to win six games in a row in one stage. He earned him a nomination as the director of the Premier League for this season.

“This is a strong relationship,” he says. “In this city. I feel that I am with my family. People take care of me. If I go in a pub, if I go somewhere, people try to show that I am one of them. This is a special thing. That’s why I feel I am working in my family.”

Although this connection remains, the relationship of the fans with those above it is more tense and many are still convinced of some summer signatures. Jhon Arias, the Colombian wing, won the match player in Spears after a slow start in England.

The Czech Ladislav Krejci is appointed to the club’s best player for the month of September. But while Fair Lopez, the 20 -year -old Spanish winger, helped Craigshi against Leeds, who is still at the beginning of the Premier League and was replaced at the end of the first half.

Jackson Chathaua and Tolo Arocodari were on the bench in Spears. David Muller did not play a minute in the last four games. Pereira admits all this but explains to the explanation. “The players arrived at the club very late, in my opinion,” he says.

“We have players who have different concepts because we bought players from different league tournaments, with different mentalities, and different cultures. If you have time with them, you can put them on the same page, go in the same direction, tactically and mentally.

“Even communication when you attend players from other league championships who do not know the language. Now, I realize that they understand what we ask. They started enjoying training and enjoying games. Now, I see the links between them.

“Imagine Arias. He has come here in the Premier League, different league, different language. In Brazil, the game is different. After many years in Brazil, he felt very comfortable playing in the same system, which is the same club. He felt confident in expressing himself.

“The relationship with the teammates, the new club, there are a lot of things before the player feels comfortable with a tactical knowledge of what the manager wants, and what the players think when they have the ball, and the movements that they will do to open the space.”

Pereira admits that he is still learning about them. “I need to understand what each one can give me in the system. For example, my expectations may be that this player, with these skills, can play inside, between lines or outside, inside the ball.

“Then, when we start working with them, we may realize that they are a player who feels more comfortable between the lines but not abroad. Or vice versa and love to receive it from the outside. This is the knowledge that we need.”

But he feels that the angle has turned. “We have worked together for two weeks. It is a beginning. Now I have good feelings because now I think we can compete. Now we are building, and now we start seeing a team that can compete,” he says, he tends to the front.

“They will become better. They will be a condition to show the reason we bought it. But they need this time. This is not easy. This is the time we need. We cannot do magic. But I believe in this team because we have the character, courage and quality.”

Even Pereira suggests that wolves can be stronger for that. In Spears, Thomas Frank admitted that he was surprised by the composition changes, and the Pereira team begins four in the back before turning into three. “Last season, it was not possible to do two systems.”

With impressive Krejci Kerjci able to play in defense or midfield, wolves can now make this change without even the need to turn into their seat. “He gives us a lot because he is a good player technically and he understands the game well.”

“Now, I think it is possible to play three or four. We can manage both systems. For us, it is important because we can surprise the opponent,” he added. It is believed that in the Premier League requires a lot of tactical, technical and physical aspects.

Will that be enough? Outside the club, the referee is in. Wolves are the candidates for royal to drop after their bad start. Inside the club, Pereira was rewarded for its work with a new contract. He is convincing. Can he convince his team?

“I think the manager is also a teacher,” he says. Easily, Pereira, 57, spent 15 years old as a teacher before his training career. “Not only to teach tactical things but mentally we need to sell ideas. Tactically and mentally sell ideas and make players believe.”

He is trying to instill these players with the necessary confidence. “I can try to explain when I feel confident. I feel confident when I start controlling things, when I start seeing what we want on the field.” This happens now, insists. Better times in the future.

“I will work hard, the hours I need, to increase the level of this team, to see happiness again in the faces of supporters. I know supporters. When we start winning the matches, they will be the energy we need to turn.”

“We will definitely do so. Together.”
