Nélson Semedo praises Vítor Pereira: “It’s a completely different team”
Wolverhampton’s captain showed his appreciation for the Portuguese coach’s work, despite having just suffered his second consecutive league defeat
After three consecutive games without losing, Vítor Pereira suffered his second consecutive defeat in the Premier League , losing 0-3 at Newcastle . The Portuguese coach lamented the situation and the missed opportunities.
“I’m proud of my players, we tried to get the result. The difference between one team and another is that when we had the chance to score, we missed and they scored. Against this type of team, a mistake is a goal,” he began by saying, after the final whistle, remembering that they also had a goal disallowed, by Bueno .
“When they made mistakes and we had the chance to score, we didn’t. We always try to learn from situations and not allow counterattacks against this type of team. We tried everything, we scored a goal, which was disallowed. We had more chances, but this is football. We created six clear chances to score, maybe. We will recover and prepare for the next game with the same spirit, but raising the level. The team tried to be compact, tried to press at the right moments”, he explained, already looking ahead to the next game, against Chelsea , at Stamford Bridge, as did captain Nélson Semedo , who came on in the second half.
“A defeat for us is always bad, but yes, we played against a good team. We also had our chances, I think we created some chances that we didn’t score. We have to correct some mistakes that we made, but we don’t have time to waste. We have a big game on Monday… we have to recover and prepare for the game,” he told the club’s channel, praising the work of his coach.
“The team we have seen over the last month is a completely different team. We have had good games, good wins away and at home. Today was not our day,” he explained.
