Wolves boss Bruno Lage: No surprise Brentford won promotion

Wolves boss Bruno Lage admits he expects a major challenge today against Brentford.

Wolves host the Bees at high noon today.

Lage said, “Some things are different, some things are similar, but what I can see from them is that they have the work with a good base.

“They've had two or three years in the good work and we can see they dominate a lot of things, they know how to start from the back, they know how to link the games, how to find the space between the lines, how to create problems to the other team, and when they lose the ball they are very strong and compact and they like to press.

“But that's the way they play all the games and that's the way we're preparing all week, creating the scenario of the week to be ready for that.

“Getting promoted to the Premier League was not a surprise, and we know we need to be at our best tomorrow, because they are a strong, competitive team and they have shown that with what they did before in the Championship and how they have started the competition.

“We know it's going to be a difficult game for us because Brentford is a hard opponent to play, but also, they know they come to play against a team who can play a good performance like we can, and we have the supporters to help us to be better.

“I think we have everything to do a good game for tomorrow and for the supporters."
