César Pesciotto stated that the team must strengthen their performance in key moments of the game to further improve their overall performance.


Wolves manager Cesar Pescotto expressed deep regret over the team's home defeat to Bolton Wanderers, highlighting the cruelty of how details determine victory. In the match at Molineux Stadium, Wolves failed to capitalize on numerous scoring opportunities, ultimately suffering a bitter loss.  


Shortly after the start of the second half, Wolves managed to equalize, and the momentum gradually shifted in the home team's favor. Adam Armstrong then had an excellent chance to take the lead, but his shot was brilliantly saved by the opposing goalkeeper, and the initiative of the game gradually returned to Bolton Wanderers.  


Despite ultimately failing to secure a victory, Cesar Pescotto believes Wolves created enough scoring opportunities in the Championship match and were in a position to win. He also took responsibility for the defeat and expressed confidence that the team has a clear plan for the upcoming match against Burnley to achieve a better result.  


Speaking about the home defeat to Bolton Wanderers, Cesar Pescotto said: "I think the team's overall performance was better than their opponents, but we didn't get into the ideal state at the beginning of the game. In the first half, we gave them two chances to score. However, after conceding the goal, the team gradually took control of the game, and unfortunately, the opponents succeeded in scoring, while we failed to do so."  


“I want to emphasize that the responsibility for this loss lies with me. The players gave their all according to my tactical plan, but we still need to do better in some key aspects of the game. Especially in the penalty area, we must be more aggressive in winning possession, creating shooting opportunities, and trying to score. In any case, I should take responsibility for this loss.”  


“During halftime, I made only two or three adjustments and asked the players to maintain the good momentum they had at the end of the first half. We then continued to press forward, forcing the opponent back into deeper positions while constantly looking for scoring opportunities, and eventually managed to tie the score at 1-1.”  


“I think the real turning point of the game came when Adam Armstrong had a shot on goal that was brilliantly saved by the opposing goalkeeper. If we had been able to extend our lead to 2-1 then, the course of the game could have been very different. After that, the opponent twice successfully advanced into our midfield area and eventually seized their chances to score.”  


“We tried a variety of attacking strategies, launching attacks from the right, left, and center, and made different deployments for each. The team had the upper hand in terms of possession, shots, crosses, and passes, and was superior to our opponents in almost all the major statistics. Unfortunately, we failed to convert our advantage into enough goals today. I want to reiterate that I take responsibility for the result of this game.”  


"The Championship is always very competitive. No matter which team we face, we may lose, draw, or win. We know what actions the team needs to take and we have a full understanding of the strength of the players in the match."  


“We have spoken with the players, and everyone understands that as long as we perform better in the game, the team has a chance to win. Everyone, whether it's the players or the coaching staff, must keep improving. In terms of the overall performance of the game, I think we had a chance to take the victory, but Bolton did a better job of seizing scoring opportunities than us.”
