Rob Edwards believes that the hard work he and the Wolves players have put in over the past few months is gradually paying off with improved results. The manager admitted that since taking over in November, the challenges he has faced have been more daunting than initially anticipated, and the team needs time to gel and build cohesion.
However, the manager believes that the team is on a four-game unbeaten run across all competitions ahead of the tough test against Newcastle United this weekend. The players' increasingly consistent performances in training and matches are allowing the team to gradually demonstrate its true strength.
Rob Edwards stated, "Our team atmosphere has always been very positive. The team has performed well in past games, and the improved results certainly contribute to the atmosphere. However, even under pressure, you don't feel any gloom within the team."
"Despite the challenges we face, it's equally important to maintain a positive attitude and enjoy the process. Everyone can laugh and relax for a moment, while still giving their all to complete the task. The team atmosphere is currently very good, and we hope to continue to maintain this momentum."
"Our goal has always been to maintain consistent performance. Looking back, it takes time to turn things around and achieve results. At that time, the team was in a bit of chaos, and the players' morale was low, which was indeed a huge test. But through continuous efforts, the players gradually adapted to our working methods, became more focused on training, and responded positively to the training plan. We have made steady progress, but we still hope to continue to improve, which is the direction we continue to strive for."
Speaking about the upcoming match against Newcastle United, Rob Edwards said: "We will respect the result, but we also know that we are facing a very strong team. Newcastle United have not only been Champions League regulars for many years, but have also reached the semi-finals of various competitions many times, and have recently won trophies. They are at their ideal level of competition and have an excellent coach and professional team like Eddie Howe."
“We know it will be a very tough game, but we are also very excited. We have been preparing for the game all week, and this match is exciting. The recent home wins have boosted the team’s morale and created a better atmosphere around the Molineux Stadium. We hope to take full advantage of this.”
"The team has been performing exceptionally well at Molineux Stadium recently, and they have also played very solidly in cup competitions. Their previous victory against West Ham United was also impressive. We have seen goals and excellent individual and team performances, which is exactly what we have been striving for since we took over as manager."
“While we often encounter this situation when playing away, it is relatively rare at Molineux Stadium. This is exactly what we expected, as most of our fans are supporting us at home, which undoubtedly adds to the glory of our achievements over the past few weeks.”
