Radyslav Krejci suggests that Wolves' reaction to their first defeat of 2026 will reflect the team's recent progress. Prior to their match against Manchester City, Wolves had gone five games unbeaten. However, Manchester City displayed overwhelming strength in the first half, and although Wolves rallied in the second, the final outcome of the game was largely predetermined.  

While the player was pleased with the team's progress since Rob Edwards took over, he emphasized that the positive momentum couldn't stall. The team must show determination and respond strongly in the upcoming away game against Bournemouth.  

Radislav Krejci said: "Of course, there will always be ups and downs in a game, and it's impossible to only win or draw all the time. The key is how we deal with these situations. We need to retain the positive factors from past games, summarize what we did well, especially the result against Manchester City, and build on that foundation."  

“It’s not easy, but it’s a gradual process. From now until the end of the season, the team will definitely experience ups and downs. However, I believe we are moving in the right direction and are expected to start accumulating more points.”  

"The score in the second half was 0-0. Both sides had chances to score, but the score in the first half ultimately determined the outcome of the game, which should not have happened. We knew, and everyone knew, the strength of our opponents, so this game was very difficult."  

“We must move forward and prepare for the next home game against Bournemouth. The team will try to learn as much as possible from the recent matches. We will analyze the games, summarize what we did well and what we need to improve, and then continue to work hard to improve.”  

“I believe my biggest contribution to the team is to demonstrate decision-making ability during the attacking play, stay calm, and create more time and space for my teammates. I think our midfielders are very strong and can control the tempo of the game. That’s my thinking. I cherish the opportunity I have now and believe I will do my best to help the team.”  

“For me, I’m still learning. This is my first season, and I’m trying to stay open-minded and absorb as much experience as possible so that I can use it and perform at my best in future games. We must finish the season with a positive mindset and the right approach.”
