The Portuguese admits he's never been serenaded by fans as he has by the Wolves support and he told the the club's podcast: 

"I had other clubs that sing my name but it takes time for it, but in the first game was a big surprise for me!

"This connection ... it is a small city. It is easier to connect the people. To connect myself with the people.

"It is very easy to go for a walk and to find the supporters, in the pubs, everywhere. I think this is the energy, the connection and power that we have in the city with just one club.

"If you have just one club everyone supports the club. To connect the people with the club and the players is to create this energy.

"It is to create a feeling of pride. Being proud of ourselves."
