"Pressure is our life" - Wolves boss relishing Burnley challenge as he opens up on Molineux future
Vitor Pereira is embracing the pressure he puts on himself to get Wolves' first win and insists there is no pressure from above regarding his future.
Tomorrow's clash with Burnley marks Wolves' biggest game of the season so far and following a defeat to Sunderland there is an expectation from supporters that results must change quickly.
Pereira says he is relishing the challenge to turn Wolves' fortunes around and that club bosses are not putting the pressure on concerning his job.
"Pressure is our life, we need to feel the pressure," the head coach said.
"It's the pressure I put on myself to be better every day, to find solutions, to help my players and my club, to give happiness to our supporters.
"I don't need to listen or read things to know our supporters are suffering, because I'm suffering too. I want to smile, be happy, win games, be proud of myself and they want to be proud of the team.
"This is the pressure I need to be better and increase my level."
When asked if there is any internal pressure from the Wolves hierarchy, Pereira added: "No, this is a club where you feel everybody is trying to help to get points and results.
"It's the small details to help the team, players and staff. I don't feel anything, I feel we are together and fighting with our tools to turn around the situation."
Wolves fans expressed their anger after the defeat to Sunderland and many are disillusioned with the club's direction this season.
But Pereira has called for their support and for the Wolves 'family' to come together at Molineux tomorrow as the Clarets come to town in a pivotal match in Wolves' campaign.
"What I can say to them is that we are working very hard to get results," Pereira added.
"We know we can be better and we cannot repeat the first half against Sunderland. I am not happy with that first half and the players are not happy too because they know they can play at a better level.
"This is the moment to help the team, to be together and be connected as a family.
"Even in our personal family we have difficult moments in life. What is a family? It is the people that they love each other and support in the bad moments.
"It's not always in the moment for parties and celebrations or for wins, it's in the moment we are suffering that we feel the support of the family if the family is true.
"I believe that our supporters have the passion, they want the club in the Premier League and they will help us for sure."
