César Pesciotto admitted that the team's performance deserved recognition, but the result was indeed disappointing.


Cesar Peschoto praised Wolves' performance against Everton away from home, though the team ultimately suffered a disappointing 0-1 defeat. Meanwhile, Raul Jimenez's early departure due to injury in the first half was a major disappointment. Wolves initially showed promise at Hill Dickinson Stadium, but the Mexican striker's injury added a layer of disappointment to the night.  


Despite Wolves conceding a late goal and suffering a disappointing defeat, Cesar Peschoto still saw several positives in the team's performance. He made nine changes to the starting lineup compared to the previous Championship match, and the players who got playing time proved their abilities, further boosting his confidence in the team's overall squad depth.  


After the match, Cesar Pesciotto said: "I acknowledge the team's performance in the game, but the final result is indeed unsatisfactory. The players performed very well and maintained a good overall cohesion throughout the match. We know very well that playing away against a Premier League team is no easy task, but the team fought hard from start to finish and maintained sufficient competitiveness. If some details had been handled better, the game could have had a more favorable result for us."  


"As the game progressed into the final stages, the challenges became even greater for us, as Konan, Bergard, and Bertrand were all making their first appearances of the season. We brought them on to help them accumulate playing time. Of course, our goal was always to win, but we also wanted to use this opportunity to give more players experience, thereby further refining the squad and providing more options for the future. I think the players did a very good job, but ultimately we couldn't secure the victory, and the loss of Raúl Jiménez was undoubtedly a loss for the team, as he is a very important player."  


“Raúl Jiménez and Radíslav Krejć were originally only planned to play 45 minutes. Raúl Jiménez needs to play in this match because he didn’t play the full 90 minutes in the last game. However, this time it’s not a muscle problem, but a minor knee injury, which he is expected to miss for several weeks. This is undoubtedly bad news for us.”  


"Raúl Jiménez is an indispensable player for the team, and it's a pity he suffered such an injury. Both we and he are very disappointed. However, he also knew at the time that he needed to get some playing time through the game in order to maintain good physical condition for the next match."  


“I treat every player the same way, and I always trust them all. Today’s game proved once again that we don’t just have 11 starters, but a truly complete team. Whether they come on from the start or wait for their chance as substitutes, everyone is capable of competing and helping the team control the game. The last game also demonstrated this, when the substitutes made important contributions to the team’s eventual victory.”  


"Today's game gave many players the opportunity to showcase their abilities, and they proved themselves with their performances. Moving forward, we must maintain our resilience and give our all in the next game. As I said before, we have a complete squad, and the most important thing now is to maintain our competitiveness."  


“We are now fully focused on the upcoming match. In fact, we had already taken Sunday’s game into consideration when preparing for this match, because the Championship is always our top priority. Therefore, we have arranged for some players to rest, while also giving other players a chance to play, regain their form through matches, and gradually reach a level where they can be selected by the team.”  


“I think the players can take something positive from tonight’s performance. Of course, it’s not because of the final result, since we didn’t win the game. But from the perspective of team building as a whole, we gained more, which makes the squad more complete. That’s very important to me.”
