Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui expects a reaction from his players for Saturday's derby against Aston Villa.
Wolves go into the game on the back of a 6-0 thrashing at Brighton.
Lopetegui said, It's a match against a very good team. They have improved a lot, from the first half of the season until now. They are a very good team, good players, very experienced coach. They have a very clear idea and have developed, and after they have the quality to damage you in each moment. They have very big players, so we have to have confidence in our players, our idea, to be able to beat them. We have to be very close to perfection to play against this kind of team.
Above all, we have to put the focus on our strengths, be confident with our work, and we have to be ready. I prefer to talk about us, our strengths, because we have to be confident in our energy, our strengths, and put the focus to be able to compete with them."
We need points to achieve our aim. We had this need the last match and Saturday too, in the same way a challenge. It's about the will to win because this is our aim, and we have to achieve our aim. It's going to be hard, it's going to be long, and we have to be ready in the good and bad moments.
We are in the middle of the battle. We are in the middle of the war, like a lot of teams. That's why we have to put out 100 per cent energy in the next match. This is football so we have to be ready until the end. Saturday we have a challenge and I'm sure the fans are going to understand the importance of the match, we are going to need this help, this environment, this energy in the bad moments. I am sure the fans are going to help a lot in the next match."
