Nuno Santo: Sunderland didn't want to play football against us
The Wolves boss says he is disappointed with a draw but will find a solution for teams coming to 'not play football'
Wolves boss Nuno Santo says his side must find a way to combat teams like Sunderland not wanting to play football.
Chris Coleman came to Molineux with a plan to frustrate Wolves and put plenty of men behind the ball, and it worked.
Speaking after the game, Santo said he believes his team will find a way to counter this in the future.
He stated: " I am disappointed because this is a not a victory, I'm not frustrated. This is part of football.
"Victories are hard to achieve.
"We work hard to achieve that and the boys worked hard.
Wolves 0 Sunderland 0 - here's the player ratings, they are lower than usual!
"There was only one team on the pitch trying to achieve three points and that was us.
"Our fans need to realise that we need them to keep pushing really hard right until the end.
"Games like this will happen again and we have to find solutions.
"I thought we created enough, the high standards will always be there and we are a team that wants to grow and improve.
"One of the things we have to contend with is nine men behind teh ball not wanting to play football.
"I am not worried about the gameplans of opponents, I will find solutions to mine.
"They didn't stop us playing, we created. Things will be different."
The fans turned out in force on a frost old day. The pavements were lethal and the temperatures were arctic, unusually, it was the team that slipped up.
Wolves huffed and puffed but couldn’t blow down the resolute, and at times ugly looking Sunderland house.
Sunderland parked the bus and the fans were left with very little warmth from the players on the pitch.
The bobbly-hatted Molineux masses had to endure a poor afternoon from their team but as long as there is plenty of festive cheer in the coming weeks, they won’t mind too much.
