In the 9th round of the Premier League, the Wolves lost to Burnley 2-3 at home. Wolves became the only team in England's four leagues without a win, and coach Pereira became the focus of fans' dissatisfaction. Calls of "get out of class tomorrow morning" rang out from the home stands. After the game, Pereira was interviewed by the media at the press conference.
Pereira said: "We understand the disappointment of the fans and the public, but what I want to say is that only if we fight together with them, the team can win, compete and achieve goals; without them, this is impossible."
"If we can win two or three games in a row, everything will be over. It will change. Two months ago, they were chanting my name because our efforts last season kept the team in the Premier League and not the Championship. Now they are chanting my name and asking for my dismissal."
"If I were a fan, I would be proud of this team even in the first 30 minutes. Even after falling behind 2-0, the players still fought hard, showing their winning spirit, mentality and ambition. "
"When you fight to win a game until the 90th minute, and your opponent only wants to delay the last few minutes and insist on a draw, even if it ends in a draw, it is unfair. We deserved the three points, but that's football. I am very proud of the players who showed a winning mentality, team spirit and organization in a very difficult moment and fought until the very end. "
Even though there was no victory in the first 9 rounds of the Premier League, Pereira still appeared determined in the face of his future.
Pereira said: "I'm not worried. This is not about me personally, but about the club, the team and the players. My job is to help them get back on their feet and be ready for the next battle. Sometimes in life there are very difficult moments and we have to learn to endure them. What I saw in the dressing room was a team that was suffering and they gave everything for this game. "I told them that today we have to accept the pain, but tomorrow we have to stand up again and be ready to fight again. That’s the mentality of this team. They deserve more than what they are getting in the league right now. I believe one win can change everything. Today I thought that victory was going to come, but it didn't. We have to be ready to fight again and we need the fans to support us again. "
