Daniel Bentley emphasized that regardless of Wolves' prospects in the Premier League, the team will approach the remaining five games of the season with the right attitude and high focus. The previous defeat to Leeds United has made their relegation battle extremely difficult, and the goalkeeper stated that the first 20 minutes of the match were particularly tough, with the team briefly losing control of the game at Elland Road.
The 32-year-old player was called upon to start in the absence of José Sá due to injury. While proud to make his first appearance of the season, he was more focused on the overall situation. As a seasoned veteran, he is actively inspiring the team to strive for better results in the upcoming matches.
Daniel Bentley said: "We are the ones who are most disappointed with ourselves. Against a strong away team, we can't expect to turn things around after falling behind in the first 20 minutes. We dug ourselves a hole, and we had a similar problem last week. Although we have discussed and tried to solve the situation, it is clear that we did not show the level we should have in the first 20 minutes of the game."
"It was really frustrating because we did show some positive performances occasionally after that, and we played well in the game. But being 0-2 down after just 20 minutes against a strong team makes it extremely difficult, so the players were obviously very disappointed and downcast. We have to reflect on this seriously because this is the second game in a row where we have put ourselves on the back foot to some extent."
“I don’t think we can think too far ahead right now. The team is indeed under a shadow right now, and the situation isn’t very optimistic. Before the international break, we were in a good position and full of hope. But in the last two games, our own mistakes have almost completely eroded that hope. Regardless of our league ranking, we must keep going. We cannot give up; that’s unacceptable to the whole team, the coaching staff, and the veteran players. Therefore, we must keep fighting.”
“I’ve been here for almost three and a half years, and I give it my all every day. I always hold myself to the standard of my last training session, which allows me to handle any situation calmly, and I know I’m ready. I do my best to ensure that every detail is as perfect as possible so that I can step up and take responsibility when needed. Of course, I still crave playing time and hope to be able to play every week and contribute to the team and the club.”
“I have always felt honored to play in the Premier League and for this club. I give my all in training every day to make the most of these opportunities. This is not the first time I have faced this situation, and I have been called up as a substitute in crucial moments many times. Therefore, as an experienced player, I believe I can handle these challenges, and my mentality allows me to deal with these situations calmly.”
