New Wolves man Ladislav Krejci reflected on his debut for the club at St James’ Park and says he believes in the team.
The Czech Republic international was thrust straight into the Wolves midfield for the 1-0 defeat to Newcastle on Saturday.
“I’m so glad for the opportunity from the coach, from the club. I’m glad also for my team-mates, how they helped me, but unfortunately the last thing, what is most important, is dropping the points, not winning,’’ said Krejci.
“I’ve been with the team for just a few days. So, I need more time to understand everything and also the mentality and the feelings, but from the game, what I can feel is the guys wanted to go in every duel and every action until the end of the game, and that’s the most important thing.
“When you go like this every time, one time it will click. I believe in the team, in myself, in the project, which is why I chose it. I will fight for it until the end.
“We hoped for the points. I think the start of the game from us was very good, we had some chances, but we didn’t score.
“After, Newcastle dictated the tempo and the rhythm during the middle of the game, and in the end I think we were again on the ball, dictating the game, but unluckily we didn’t score.
“It was a tough game, but I believe if we continue with the same mentality, pushing until the end, we will start winning.
“If we score at the beginning it can be a different game. But we never know, we take it as a negative from the game and keep going, keep pushing.”
