"I'm very happy with them" - Wolves boss praises Brazilian duo

The Brazilian duo played a major role in Wolves' crucial win over Ipswich to put them within touching distance of mathematically guaranteeing their Premier League status.

And the head coach is convinced he has now found the right system for them to flourish.

"Joao Gomes and Andre were very good," Pereira said.

"They are playing a lot, with different qualities.

"With Joao you must give him freedom to play, to go in between the lines and in the box.

"Andre is more of a six, a playmaker that can connect the defenders with midfielders and the attack.

"I'm very happy with them.

"At half-time, I didn't see a team panicking.

"I listened and gave them some minutes to talk to each other. Then I started to talk and said that we will win this game."

Jorgen Strand Larsen bagged the winner at Portman Road to take his tally to 11 for the season, but Pereira was keen to highlight the role new signing Marshall Munetsi is having in helping bring the best out of Larsen.

"Larsen is getting better because he's more adapted to the Premier League, because of his work," Pereira said.

"But Munetsi is playing close to him, creating spaces, attacking spaces every time.

"He's supporting the first ball. Before, when Larsen received the first ball the man close to him to support this ball was not there.

"Now we have a physical player that runs a lot, creating spaces and is in the box every time.

"It means that when the cross comes, the markers go to Munetsi a lot and Larsen is free to finish. This is teamwork. 

"We are more consistent. Firstly create an identity and then be consistent."
