Wolves boss Vitor Pereira hopes their 2-0 victory over Everton in the Carabao Cup could be a turning point in their season.
Wolves advanced to the fourth round thanks to goals from Marcel Munesi and Tolu Arokodare, shaking off the gloom of their previous poor start to the Premier League. In the post-match press conference, Pereira emphasized that what pleased him most about the match was not the score, but the overall performance of the team.
"It meant a lot to me to see the players playing with confidence, playing high-quality offense and pressing, controlling the game and showing team spirit," Pera said. "A good result can change everything. It can change the spirit and atmosphere of the team. I haven't seen the players and fans smile for a long time, and today we finally had a reason to smile."
On the tactical level, Pereira made nine bold rotations and adjusted the formation. He said: "I'm not doing this to please myself, but to find a solution. I like what we played today. Sometimes, changes are made to achieve different results, and today we did it."
Although the time for adjustment is very limited, Pereira believes that the team has demonstrated the possibility of using a double formation, which provides more options for the upcoming schedule.
More importantly, this victory has rekindled the team's confidence. Pereira said: "This is a different kind of energy, and confidence can make them play at this level. Today's performance tells everyone that we have the strength to compete in the Premier League and can compete with any opponent."
So far this season, Wolves have lost all five Premier League games and only won in the Carabao Cup. Therefore, this game is not only a battle for promotion for Wolves, but also a shot in the arm. I hope the team can maintain its form until the Premier League.
