Gary O’Neil
Gary O’Neil discussed Wolves’ strong performance as they secured a 2-0 victory over Southampton, highlighting the efforts and commitment of his squad.
Gary O’Neil said “The players deserve it. They’ve put in an awful lot of work. Second half I thought we were excellent – didn’t feel under any real threat once we got to grips with the shape and a nervy first half as expected under the circumstances.”
Amidst speculation about his future, O’Neil emphasized the importance of the team’s success and the fans’ enjoyment rather than focusing on himself.
Gary O’Neil said “I wanted them (fans) to enjoy it because they’ve waited a very long time for it. Today was about Wolves, I didn’t want to make it about me either which is why I was keen to let the players go around the supporters and enjoy it. I’m pleased for the fans and players now we need to dust ourselves down and go four unbeaten.”
In a discussion about his decision to include Pablo Sarabia in the lineup, O’Neil expressed satisfaction with the player’s performance and his ability to handle pressure.
Gary O’Neil said “Part of my team selection were people who I thought could stand pressure of what today was going to look like. I knew Pablo would be able to cope with that. He’s a confident guy. It was a fantastic goal, had some big chances of that similar sequence against Crystal Palace – He took his goal very well today pleased with that.”
