Matthäus Mane believes the team has adapted to the head coach's philosophy, and the players have shown a positive attitude in training.

Wolves' young player Matthäus Mane stated that he strongly agrees with head coach César Pesciotto's tactical philosophy and believes this style of play will maximize his strengths. In a preseason friendly against Portuguese powerhouse Estoril, the two sides drew 0-0. Mane started and played approximately 60 minutes, primarily active on the left flank, repeatedly putting pressure on the opponent's defense by cutting inside and using his right foot.  

In this match, Matthäus Mane effectively implemented the high-pressing tactics deployed by the head coach, repeatedly attacking the opponent's defense with his abundant running and excellent individual ability, nearly creating scoring opportunities. He believes that this match is just the first step for the team towards better performance.  

Matthäus Mane said: "I really enjoyed the game. It was our first game of preseason, and everyone played well, which also helped us improve our physical condition. I think everyone did their job well, so the overall performance was satisfactory."  

“The intensity of training has been very high during this period, and I think this allows us to be in better physical condition for the game. Whether it is physical reserves or running performance, we are ready, and I think the team is in pretty good overall condition right now.”  

"This style of play definitely requires more physical exertion, but we've done a lot of high-intensity running in training, so we're able to adapt to this pace. Without that training as a foundation, the game would definitely be much more difficult. The forwards also played very well today, and their performance helped relieve a lot of pressure on the defense."  

"The head coach wants us to stick to high pressing and show more aggression in the game, which is a big challenge for every player. He has high expectations for the team, which I think is a good thing. We hope to start the new season with this style of play and show everyone the team's intensity and fighting spirit."  

“This tactical system suits my playing style very well. I like to be creative in matches, and my current position allows me to fully demonstrate my abilities and has more room to perform. I want to thank the head coach for his trust in me, which allows me to contribute my value in this position.”  

“I think we have adapted well to the manager’s requirements, and everyone has been training hard. The team will return to England and continue to improve our form through the next few pre-season friendlies to prepare for the new season. He has also been encouraging me to maintain my confidence and to know when to try a one-on-one dribble and when to pass. He has given me a lot of trust, which is very important for any player.”  

“I’m really happy to be a part of the first team. Last season I was still fighting for my place, but now I’ve officially integrated into the team, and it feels really great.”
