Wolves boss Lage rallies players and fans: Europe still alive

Bruno Lage has urged Wolves not to give up on a late charge for a European spot.

The Molineux outfit have lost seven of their last 10 Premier League matches, including a dismal defeat to Brighton at home last weekend.

Lage has called on his players to finish the season strongly ahead of fixtures against Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool.

"We have four games in front of us, it's hard to play games and it will be like this until the end," Lage told the Express & Star.

"I can lose plenty of times but (only if) we come from something. It was a completely different game because we had nothing and didn't learn anything because we didn't play, we just watched Brighton play.

"I don't want an excuse for anything. We didn't play well and I want to see my team in training and in the game.

"I want a reaction from them and they need to continue to play in the way we want to play and the way we've played since the first day.

"I'm feeling that in this moment, if we have everyone fit, we should do something different and better.

"When we come to this position, c'mon let's do it. The challenge is to try. We can lose but at least we come and play our game.

"We go with ambition to do something better and not be comfortable with what we did before."
