Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui believes the turning point in their season came after bad defeats.
The Spanish coach came in midway through the season with the club in some relegation danger.
However, Lopetegui quickly got the team out of the drop zone and finished safely mid-table.
Asked about the turning point, per the Express and Star, Lopetegui said: Maybe after each defeat, because of the answers of the players the next day in training.
For me, this is a very key, important moment. To see them work here with a big commitment and a big belief was important.
How they drove through and managed the bad moments were key for our season.
"There's not one moment, above all it was the bad moments. Overcoming the bad moments is key.
"When you win it's always easier and when you lose it's more difficult. We have to answer you (the media) and convince the players the next day.
"They have to be strong and continue fighting, that's why the trigger moment is when we lost.
"The character and personality you show the next day when you lose is key in football and in life."
