Wolves Midfielder Andre Opens Up on Enjoying Life at Club Despite Tough Season
Andre, the Brazilian midfielder who joined Wolverhampton Wanderers for £21 million in 2024, has spoken candidly about his time at the club, his relationship with head coach Rob Edwards, and the challenges of a difficult season. In a recent club interview, Andre admitted he is "really enjoying" his life at Wolves, even as the team faces likely relegation to the Championship, sitting bottom of the Premier League with just seven games remaining.
Praise for Rob Edwards and Personal Connection
Andre highlighted the positive impact of Rob Edwards, describing him as a "top person" first and foremost. He shared a personal anecdote: when Edwards arrived, Andre was in Brazil due to his son's illness, and the head coach sent him a supportive message, which Andre found deeply meaningful. "First, you need to be a good person, then be good at work," Andre emphasized, underscoring the importance of character in their professional relationship.
On the pitch, Edwards has boosted Andre's confidence by consistently affirming his abilities. "He says, 'You are a top player,' so every day we fight, fight, fight," Andre explained. This encouragement has translated into improved performances, with Andre recently showing fine form under Edwards' guidance, a contrast to earlier struggles under previous boss Vitor Pereira.
Commitment to Wolves and the Fight Ahead
Despite the looming threat of relegation, Andre expressed a strong desire to stay at Wolves for years to come, a sentiment he previously shared with fans during an online livestream while playing video games. "I'm very happy working with him, he's a top gaffer and a top person, and I want to help him a lot," Andre said of Edwards. "I'll give all of my life inside the pitch to help him."
Andre also acknowledged the support from everyone around the club, stating, "I'm really enjoying my time here at Wolves, I'm enjoying everyone around the club, so it's good to give back to those who support me."
Focus on Remaining Games and Belief in Possibility
Reflecting on the season, Andre admitted it has been tough, but he urged the team to maintain belief and fight in their final seven matches. "In this moment it's difficult to speak, now we have to keep believing and playing," he said. "We have good games left and in football everything is possible. Keep believing, keep fighting, keeping trying to win the last games."
He pointed to recent victories against Aston Villa and Liverpool as evidence that surprises can happen. Looking ahead to the next challenge against West Ham, Andre emphasized a game-by-game approach: "We won against Villa and Liverpool, so everything is possible. Against West Ham, we won the first game. We need to think game to game, and have confidence to play, confidence to defend – play together and fight."
As Wolves prepare for a crucial run-in, Andre's words serve as a rallying cry for the team and fans alike, highlighting resilience and optimism in the face of adversity.
