Vitor Pereira has shown a willingness to turn things around at Wolves, and that is music to the ears of any fan of the club.
The Portuguese manager is not resting on his laurels, and he is not afraid to change things if they are going wrong.
Things have been going wrong, and the Wolves head coach has adopted a new formation with four defenders rather than three.
Against Tottenham, Vitor Pereira used both, showing tactical nous as Wolves tried to come away with all three points.
It almost worked, and if they got what they deserved, it would have been maximum points for the Old Gold.
Now, Jackson Tchatchoua has dropped a hint on how they will line up against Brighton and which of the two formations Pereira prefers.
Jackson Tchatchoua says Vitor Pereira is persisting with four-at-the-back system
Jackson Tchatchoua has revealed that Vitor Pereira is telling his team they will be using the four-defender system at Wolves for the foreseeable future.
Speaking to Wolves’ official website, Tchatchoua said, “I can adapt to what the coach needs for the team. At the moment, he thinks the best information is with a four and I think all of the players need to learn and adapt to this system.
“Everything’s new and when things are new, you need to take time, but I think the team and the players are also smart and can learn faster in this new system. For me, it’s not a problem.”
Tchatchoua is much more familiar with the role of being a right-back rather than a wing-back, so he will no doubt prefer this change.
There has also been some good news for the Cameroonian, as Mitoma has been declared a doubt for Sunday’s clash.
Jackson Tchatchoua’s pace can help Wolves transition quickly from defence to attack
The pace of Jackson Tchatchoua must be utilised in Wolves’ back-four system.
Vitor Pereira can use the defender’s speed to help them quickly transition from one side of the pitch to the other and catch teams out on the break.
Tchatchoua has already shown he is capable of putting in dangerous crosses, as highlighted by his sole assist against West Ham in the Carabao Cup.
If Pereira can position Tchatchoua in optimal positions on the counterattack, that is another weapon he has at his disposal.
The Cameroonian has a chance to finally become a regular starter amid news that Matt Doherty has had surgery and is out for quite some time.
He must take this opportunity.
