Cesar Pescotto believes Wolves have created numerous attacking opportunities recently and are expected to regain their scoring efficiency soon. After two consecutive league defeats and scoring only one goal in those two matches, Wolves are about to face Burnley. Despite their recent poor scoring record, the chances they have created in the past few games, especially their attacking performance against Bolton Wanderers midweek, have provided some consolation for the manager.
Despite Adam Armstrong's absence due to injury, manager Cesar Pesciutto expressed confidence in the current squad in the pre-match press conference. He encouraged the players to improve their finishing, rediscover their ability to convert scoring opportunities, and strive to shake off the team's recent slump as soon as possible.
When discussing Adam Armstrong's absence from the away game due to injury, Cesar Peschoto said: "Adam Armstrong has some issues with his back and will therefore be unable to play tomorrow. He will receive treatment, but we expect him to be fit for the next match. The Championship schedule is always very congested, and we need to manage our players' playing time effectively. This is why I have always emphasized having two players for each position to allow for rotation in similar situations."
“We trust every player in the team. Almost everyone will have the opportunity to play in the next three games, and the team will have another three games next week. Therefore, we must manage the players' playing time properly and minimize the risk of injury. Adam Armstrong is one of the players with a high playing frequency in the team, and we also need to manage his game load reasonably.”
"Before the last two matches, the team's goal-scoring performance had been quite good, and we had scored quite a few goals. I believe the team will soon regain its scoring touch. In the last match, we created a lot of scoring opportunities, but unfortunately we failed to capitalize on them. If we can't even create chances, that's what really worries me."
“At this stage, we have almost no time for training. The team’s daily schedule is basically to recover our physical fitness, play matches, and then recover again and prepare for the next match. If we could have more full training weeks, the situation would definitely improve. Similarly, if we had more players available, we would have more room for adjustment. We can make improvements on some details, but it is impossible to completely overturn the existing game philosophy. I do not agree with that approach.”
When discussing how the team is getting out of its slump, César Pesciotto admitted: "We are currently going through a difficult period, that's a fact we have to admit. Injuries, consecutive losses, and players not having enough time to recover all pose greater challenges to the team. We need to carefully manage the players' physical condition to ensure they can cope with three games in a short period of time, and there are three more games waiting for us next week. However, these difficulties are things that can happen in a long season."
“We have completed nine games so far, but there are still 37 games to play in the whole season, so there is still a long way to go. At this stage, the whole team must stay united, make timely adjustments based on the actual situation, and rely on the players who are currently in good physical condition to continue to meet the challenges.”
“I don’t want to focus too much on the difficulties the team is currently facing. As head coach, my job is to deal with these problems, find solutions, and do everything I can to help the team win. I will remain optimistic. This period is also a good opportunity for the players to prove themselves, and it allows me to evaluate the squad more deeply and understand how much each player can contribute to the team this season. As long as we can overcome the challenges at hand, I believe the team will get back on track soon, and I am confident that.”
