Wolverhampton Wanderers drew 2-2 with 10-man Everton last weekend.
Wolves star Diogo Jota spoke exclusively to the Express & Star, and shared what Nuno Espirito Santo told the players in the aftermath of their 2-2 draw with Everton at Molineux on Saturday.
The Black Country outfit were quite simply sensational in the Championship last season, but they will have their work cut out in the Premier League this term, if they are to finish inside the top half of the table come what May.
Saturday’s game against Everton would have been a rude awakening for anyone in Nuno’s side who might have believed that this season would be a stroll.
Jota, who made his move to Molineux from Atletico Madrid a permanent one this summer, opened up on the message that Nuno gave him and his teammates after the draw against the Toffees, when speaking exclusively to the Express & Star:
“(Nuno said) just to calm down because he noticed it was the first game for many of us – for him as well – in the Premier League, now we want to relax and prepare and do our best. It’s the first game, it’s always different, maybe you try to rush and not do things so well as we usually did. Now we’re going to improve on that.”
Next up for Jota and co is a trip to the King Power Stadium to take on Leicester City tomorrow, and the Foxes will represent another stern test for Wolves as they continue to adjust to life in the Premier League.
