00:00Since signing a new deal, it has been difficult to reconcile Vitor Pereira's new three-year contract
00:08with the turbulence surrounding Wolverhampton Wanderers.
00:12On September 18th, the head coach committed his future to the club,
00:16yet his decisions and words since have painted the picture of a man under immense pressure,
00:23fighting to find stability in a season that began in chaos.
00:26The Wolves lost their first five Premier League games and Pereira's approach reflected a manager
00:32searching desperately for solutions.
00:35His 24 changes to starting line-ups across six games were the most by any club,
00:41with repeated adjustments to personnel and tactics.
00:44Ahead of the trip to Tottenham, Pereira made nine alterations from the previous match,
00:50moved away from his favourite three-man central defence
00:53and reshuffled goalkeepers and senior players in a line-up that felt like a Hail Mary.
01:00Even after initial missteps, he continued to tinker at half-time, reverting to his preferred back three.
01:07Yet despite the gamble, Wolves delivered their best performance of the season so far.
01:12Jean-Paulinho's 94th-minute equaliser denied full glory, but the display highlighted significant progress.
01:20New arrivals such as Jean-Arias impressed, Andres showed signs of returning to form,
01:25and Alessai Crecci offered defensive solidity.
01:28Buena himself looked more comfortable with the pace and physicality of the Premier League,
01:33combining composure with improved reading of the game.
01:36Pereira credits the progress to finally working in detail with a squad that came together late
01:43in the transfer window, giving time for cohesion and adaptation.
01:48While Wolves still need consistency, clarity in system and stronger contributions from new signings,
01:54there are now glimpses of a foundation to build upon.
01:58What might have been a frantic gamble instead became a platform for hope.
02:03Pereira took a bold risk, and while it did not yield victory, it prevented a collapse,
02:08giving Wolves a chance to turn potential into results in the weeks ahead.
