Wolves head coach Vitor Pereira admitted after the game that the team's loss to Burnley was "hard to accept." However, he emphasized that the team would quickly adjust their mindset and continue to display their resilience and fighting spirit. Wolves equalized with goals from Jurgen Strand-Larsen and Marcel M'nessy, giving them a glimmer of hope of overtaking, but ultimately lost 3-2 to Burnley.
After the game, Vitor Pereira said he understood the fans' anxiety and disappointment, but emphasized that the players had given their all to win. He noted that all the team can do now is keep working hard and maintaining their faith. "Of course we're disappointed," he said. "The players gave their all to win the game. But football is like that sometimes; it's not always fair. We were very active in the second half and tried to control the tempo, but in the end, they still took advantage."
"This is football, we must understand that every game is a new battle. Losing this game has cost us three valuable points and missed the opportunity to rebuild our confidence. But we can't dwell on disappointment, but must continue to work hard and perform better in the next game."
"In the first half, we conceded two goals due to long balls from the opponent's backcourt. We put a lot of effort into this aspect, trying to control the opponent's offensive style. But when one side scores, it always means that the other side has a loophole in defense or an error in judgment. Despite this, the team quickly responded positively and showed great mental strength, eventually equalizing the score with two goals, and the halftime score was fixed at 2-2."
"We had a discussion at half-time and we all knew we had to get the three points. So I told the players to take some risks and go for it. They did a good job and we created a lot of chances. Burnley retreated deep but we were still in control of the game. Unfortunately, the last-gasp goal cost us the third goal. To be honest, I think the draw was unfair. It's hard to describe the feeling, but we'll start again."
When asked about the fans' disappointment, Vitor Pereira admitted that he completely understood their feelings. He said: "Losing a game in the final moments is frustrating, and the fans' disappointment is understandable. But I think the team deserves support because the players gave their all on the field. Consecutive losses are emotionally difficult to overcome, but we need the fans' support more than ever. We can't stand alone; only by uniting together can we find victory again."
"I know football very well. A few months ago, the fans were still cheering for me. When I first arrived here, the club was in a really difficult situation. We were able to reach the Premier League because everyone was united and worked hard for the goal. I understand the laws of football. Winning two or three games can change everything. But I don't care about personal reputation. I care about the team, the club and victory."
