Daniel Podence Criticizes Wolves One Year After Leaving Molineux
Daniel Podence, the former Wolves player, recently shared his insights on his time in the Premier League compared to his current experience at Olympiacos. In a pre-match press conference ahead of a Champions League match against Arsenal, Podence reflected on his three seasons at Wolves and his transition to other clubs.
Podence’s Career Journey
During his time at Molineux, Podence made over 100 appearances, contributing to the team’s efforts with notable goals and assists. However, he often found himself in a rotational role and not a guaranteed starter.
Two seasons ago, Podence returned to Olympiacos on loan, a club where he previously played. The following summer, he transferred to Al Shabab but has now found his way back to Greece on another loan deal.
Comments on Premier League vs. Olympiacos
When discussing the difference between the leagues, Podence stated, “The Premier League is the most competitive league in the world, mainly because of the pace; there aren’t many other competitions played at that speed.”
He elaborated on his experience with Wolverhampton Wanderers, drawing a comparison to Olympiacos. Podence indicated that the ambition at Olympiacos is to win every game, expressing contentment in his return to the club. He noted, “At Wolves, every match was tough and fast, but at Olympiacos we always play with the objective of winning.”
Reactions to Podence’s Remarks
These comments have raised eyebrows among Wolves fans, as they imply a lack of win-centric mentality during his tenure at the club. However, Wolves’ recent performances, including a spirited effort against Tottenham Hotspur where they were close to securing victory, contradict Podence’s statement.
Wolves defender Santiago Bueno highlighted a shift in mentality within the squad. Players are now more focused on entering matches with the right attitude, aiming for victories in upcoming fixtures.
Conclusion
Podence’s remarks about Wolves may serve as motivation for the team to elevate their performance as the season progresses. As they continue to adapt under new management, the drive to win every match remains a crucial objective for the club.
