Marcel M'nessi said that Wolves attach great importance to the tactical system and team characteristics during the preparation for the new season. This is the first time he and coach Vitor Pereira have participated in pre-season training since joining. Marcel M'nessi joined from Reims in France in January this year and has played a pivotal role in the team's reorganization since then, injecting new impetus into the team with his multi-faceted abilities.
The 29-year-old was one of a handful of players to play the full match in Saturday's friendly against Burnley in Portugal and he says Vitor Pereira's hard work in training has paid off in his appearances for Wolves.
Marshall Munesi said after the game: "Compared to the first game against Santa Clara, we performed better in this game. The players had more time for physical training and tactical preparation. Although we made some adjustments, the performance in the first half was still satisfactory. We implemented the coach's tactical intentions well, and I believe this state can continue to the next friendly match."
“The training is really tough, but now is the time for us to challenge ourselves and push our physical limits so that we can be fully prepared when the season starts. The coach is also watching some players who have played for the national team, but I have had more time to recover, so I am ready to play the whole game.”
"In addition, we are constantly trying different lineup combinations and testing various playing styles. Some players played 60 minutes in this game, but in the next game, they may strive to play the full game."
"In fact, the key lies in the cooperation and mutual understanding between the players. We lost several key players who occupied an important position in the starting lineup. Therefore, now we must strengthen our understanding of each other, including the new players, the original members and the first-team rookies promoted from the youth training. Now is a critical period to review the highlights of last season and clarify the future direction. We have had several high-level performances and I believe we can continue this state."
"In addition, the more critical thing is the team's overall tactical structure. We hope to show a good team image. Last season, we performed poorly at the beginning and conceded too many goals, so the coach is currently focusing on consolidating our defensive system. While ensuring the offensive rhythm, we are also working hard to improve scoring efficiency. The overall goal is to establish a clear style of play and maintain a balance between offense and defense to create a team with both offense and defense and a reasonable structure."
“When I first joined the team, I received a warm welcome and this sense of belonging made me feel at home. Taking part in the pre-season preparations means a lot to me because it is an important stage to start from scratch. We have team goals for the new season, and as a player, I also hope to make greater progress on the basis of last season.”
"I will take a short break and spend some time with my family. We still have a few days before we go to Spain for training. Until then, I will take this opportunity to rest and adjust my condition so that I can be fully prepared for the new season."
