January 7, Beijing time, the 20th round of the Premier League, Wolves and Nottingham Forest duel ended with Wolves 0-3 defeat. After the match, Wolves manager Vitor Pereira made a detailed review of the match and had an in-depth exchange on Sky Sports Live.
Pereira said that Nottingham Forest's toughness and swift counter-attacks put Wolves under pressure. He revealed that although Wolves had chances to break the deadlock and even equalize the score at one time, they missed the chance for various reasons. In his opinion, Wolves' unstable formation and mistakes in the defensive counterattack were the key to Nottingham Forest's goals.
Talking about the second goal conceded, Pereira admitted that Wolves had a chance to equalize, but unfortunately failed to grasp it. He admitted that the Wolves squad is relatively thin and the team has suffered a lot of difficulties this week. Nonetheless, Pereira was proud of his players' fighting spirit and felt that they had done their best.
When asked about the January transfer window, Pereira made it clear that Wolves need to bring in two to three players to strengthen their squad, but will not make any massive reinforcements. He believes that Nottingham Forest's goalkeeper was outstanding in this game, defusing Wolves' attacks many times, which is one of the reasons why Wolves struggled to break through.
Talking about the progress made to the team, Pereira said that he is still satisfied with the performance of the players despite the disappointing result of the match. He believes that the outcome of the game could have been different had Wolves been able to have a full squad. Despite the problems suffered this week, Wolves have tried their best and the players have put in hard work.
Finally, Pereira pointed out that Nottingham Forest is a team that is good at causing trouble, especially if they concede first. They will patiently wait for their opponents to make mistakes and seize the opportunity to score. According to Pereira, Nottingham Forest is a strong team, and Wolves need to be more careful in future matches to avoid making similar mistakes.
