Wolves midfielder Lemina excited ahead of first preseason

Wolves midfielder Mario Lemina is excited ahead of first preseason with the club.

Lemina arrived at Molineux in January.

He said: “I never have personal goals. It's just about the team. Honestly, I will really look forward for the pre-season because we didn't have a pre-season together.

“It was a really emergency work that we had (since January) and now I just want to see the pre-season. All the chemistry is going to be there and then after that, we can tell what we're going to be, our aims and our targets for the season.

“During the season, the first months are going to be key, and we have to make sure we get the most points that we can to stay alive, and then after, to think about other aims.

“For me, the first part of the season is the most important part because you need to get the points – a lot of points – to make sure you are still able to have some other targets on top of (survival), and not just looking down all the time.

“I want to make sure that next season we are going to get these points early with the team so we can have better aims."

Lemina added: “For me, the pre-season is really important. It's really important to get fit, to establish the chemistry between us and increase the friendships even, because when you get close to other players off the pitch, it makes you play better as a team.

“So I'm looking forward for this trip, not only for the new experiences that we will have, but the way it's going to make us stronger as a team."
