Wolves’ “quality” star could be unstoppable for Pereira

Vitor Pereira’s fantastic start to life in England shows no sign of stopping soon after his revival Wolverhampton Wanderers The team was held to a 2-2 draw by Tottenham last time out.

Two wins on the trot were also collected before this tough share of points held up in North London as the Old Gold hierarchy now feel smug that they have seemingly replaced Gary O’Neil with the best possible successor.

Of course, this honeymoon period could soon come to an end in the prime Premier League Loss inevitably greets Pereira, but he has worked his magic so far to breathe life back into a camp besieged under the previous regime.

Wolves improved performers under Pereira

Many stars who had arguably downed tools under O’Neil are now back to their best under the Portuguese boss’ fresh methods as Rayan Ait Nouri helped himself. two assists in the action-packed tie with Spurs.

From his 87 strokes of the ball, the entertaining Algerian made three key passes, which included a fine assist to find Jørgen Strand Larsen, who curled an effort past Fraser Forster with just three minutes left on the clock.

Additionally, away from attacking standouts Ait Nouri and Larsen, Pereira has made Old Gold’s defense much tougher to breach since stepping into the dugout, with Santiago Bueno and Matt Doherty gathering reverses. he returned clean sets in the two wins prior to this frantic affair.

But there is another attacking player at the relegation-threatened club who has really benefited from O’Neil’s departure, as Hwang Hee-chan now boasts two goals from his last two Premier League appearances since Pereira’s arrival on the scene.

Huang’s performances under Pereira

Only in his own third start of the season in the league, the South Korean gem would fire over that delightful effort after a smartly taken free-kick from Ait Nouri found him eager to make an early impact.

The reinvigorated 28-year-old would also ensure Wolves have a second goal to their name to further humiliate the Red Devils on Boxing Day as Pereira’s decision to give the previously frozen striker increased minutes from his appointment continues to pay off .

Stating before the Spurs tie that Hwang is his player “high quality”the 44-year-old will be hoping his confidence will be boosted significantly and see him reach the heights he managed to achieve last season for the Old Gold with 12 goals coming his way in the top flight.

In an alternate reality, the former Al-Shabab boss wouldn’t even have the lively number 11 at his disposal now, with a deal in place for Hwang to leave Molineux this summer for Roberto De Gerbi’s Marseille it almost came off the ground.

As according to journalist Nathan Juddahearlier this month there was a suggestion that a January exit was on the cards for the ‘unhappy’ marksman, with the trip to Spurs just his third league start of the campaign:

Thankfully, no such deal was signed in the end, with Pereira now relying on the former RB Leipzig man to give his side even more attacking firepower, rather than simply relying on Matheus Cunha and Larsen who are also brimming with confidence.

Hwang will be praying it’s not just a temporary purple patch, with more goals coming his way when Wolves take on Nuno Espirito Santo’s Nottingham Forest deep into the New Year.

With positive results coming against Man United and Ange Postecoglou’s crazy outfit, it won’t be obvious that Forest will pull off a win against the Old Gold, especially if Hwang is back on his A-Game.
