Rob Edwards has urged his players to show fighting spirit against Manchester United and to utilize the team's strengths. In the pre-match press conference, when asked how Wolves could better control their season and secure their first Premier League win, the manager stated that the team needs to work harder, win physical duels, and be willing to take risks.  

Manchester United's next match will be at Molineux Stadium. Rob Edwards has stated that he remains disappointed with the team's performance against Nottingham Forest. He said that communication with the players has been positive, but the team must respond in the game.  

Rob Edwards said: "Manchester United have many excellent players, and like other teams, they have a clear tactical system. We can study our opponents, but I need to focus more on our own performance. The team must be at its best. Manchester United will show their best level, and we must do the same. I don't want a repeat of the first half."  

"We are in a very difficult situation right now, but the key is how we deal with it. We can choose to give up or we can choose to fight back. What we can control is our effort, our tackling, and our running intensity. Although the outcome is not entirely within our control, the pace of the game, the intensity of the game, and the frequency of our advance are all in our hands. The most important thing now is to focus on what we can control, and that is the key to achieving good results."  

"Whether I was at the peak of my career in the league or in my current situation, I always strive to get feedback and communicate with the players involved. That's how I work. I'll show them some content and try to get them involved. That's how I do it. Sometimes I need to tell them directly, and sometimes I need to get feedback from them. Because it's only by getting feedback from the players that you can better get them to take responsibility, which is very natural."  

"Players crave honesty; they want to know the real situation and need timely feedback. Coaches can offer constructive suggestions, and sometimes they need to point out problems directly. This communication may occur during halftime because information needs to be conveyed to the players immediately. There are many ways to do this, and coaches must strive to seize the right opportunities, and the best coaches demonstrate their abilities precisely during these moments."  

When asked about Rodrigo Gómez's absence due to suspension, Rob Edwards said: "I have spoken with André and Rodrigo Gómez. I told them that if they are to receive a yellow card, they must make sure it is not due to a foul or other unnecessary mistake. We are aware of this risk and know that this situation will happen sooner or later."  

“What’s most frustrating is that I think he clearly had control of the ball. We were defending a free kick just outside our own penalty area. He’s now suspended, and it wasn’t a foul at all, which is infuriating. He was very frustrated and asked us if we could overturn the decision, but a yellow card is not an option.”
