The Cherries won 1-0 thanks to an early Marcus Tavernier winner, with Wolves defender Toti sent off in the second-half.
Pereira said afterwards, “Looking at the game, we started the first half creating a big chance to score, but we didn’t, and after we concede a goal which was out of our plan, because the plan was not to build the play inside, but to go to the sides, because we know that this is a team playing here who are very aggressive in the middle.
“We worked it in the plan to play outside, and after inside or in the space, but we concede a goal and we tried to compete with a strong team. Half time came, we did some changes and we started the half with a big chance to score and we missed it.
“After, the red card. Playing against this team is not easy when it’s 11 against 11, let alone 10 against 11, but we tried to keep our organisation. We tries to arrive on the box, creating something, we tried and I think we have been united, organised and we didn’t concede any goal (when down to 10) but in the end, it’s difficult to score, and they win the game.”
Despite the result, Pereira sought to rally the players in the aftermath.
He continued: “We know very well the way that this team plays. This is a team who are very aggressive in their pressing and it means that we need, strategically, to know the spaces that we can explore or not. But football is football and it’s also about mistakes, and we need to correct, working.
“The only way that I know how to correct mistakes is we need to work. We need to give time for the new players to adapt in this league, because it’s different when you come from different leagues, and you arrive here and you feel the intensity and the pressing, and we need some time to create and to build strong behaviours and to build the team.
“But I believe in this group, they work very hard and we’ll see in the end of the market, what is our position, but we are in beginning of the season with two defeats. They are not what we are expecting, but this is the way, we’ll keep our work, we know what we want and we will try to improve our game.”
