I&#8217;m not proud of my work or our work, because I don&#8217;t know why,&#8221; he told Wolves TV.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mentally, I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s because I put a lot of energy into the last game against Chelsea until the last moment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have tried everything. In the last game against Chelsea we started with a 4-3-3, but in the 4-3-3 we realized that we were not defending at our level and we were not playing at our level. We changed the system and were able to play in the second half.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn my opinion, the second half was very good. We started today where we finished the last game and the dynamic was not there. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maybe it&#8217;s because we played three games in a short amount of time, but we changed some players from the last game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Goalkeeper Sam Johnston was similarly disappointed with Wolves&#8217; performance against the Cottage, saying: &#8220;Frustrated. Embarrassing.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is not good enough and we need to do better. We should be ashamed and of course we apologize to the fans, although they may not want to hear it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are trying our best but we have to keep moving forward. We have good players and we need to turn things around quickly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wolves next face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, with games against Crystal Palace, Manchester United and Arsenal also scheduled.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211;<\/p>\n<div class=\"wrap-anywhere typo-tk-rs-body-md text-content-block-default-text-fill-01\" data-testid=\"body-paragraph\">Watch the 2025\/26 Premier League season on TNT Sports and Discovery+<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tntsports.co.uk\/football\/premier-league\/2025-2026\/wolves-sack-vitor-pereira-winless-start_sto23237119\/story.shtml\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Unbelievable&#8221; &#8211; Mo Salah&#8217;s 250th goal for Liverpool Video credit: SNTV Wolverhampton Wanderers have sacked head coach Vitor Pereira as the club sit bottom of the Premier League with just two points from 10 games this season.
