Nuno Espirito Santo wants more from Wolves

Nuno Espirito Santo insists there is room for improvement despite seeing Wolves reach the last 16 of the Europa League.

Jonathan Calleri’s hat-trick earned Espanyol a 3-2 win in Barcelona on Thursday but Wolves progressed 6-3 on aggregate.

He said: “We should have done better but the hard work was there and we made something which is massive for us. It was a lot of hard work last season so we are proud of what we have been doing.

“We are on the journey, we focus on our daily process, tomorrow we will train, Saturday we’re going to train and then we will travel to play Tottenham (on Sunday).

“It’s massive for the club and city, we are happy. We want to keep going. This gel between players is amazing.

“You can only evaluate and dedicate some time (to the achievement) when you’ve finished. We are on the journey. When you are on that you have to focus on a daily basis and keep on going.

“Friday is the draw, let’s see. I’m focused on what we have to do and what we have to do is recover in the dressing room.”

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
