00:00Wolves midfielder Andre says the team is more confident following a strong run of form that has lifted them well clear of danger in the Premier League.
00:11Under Vitor Pereira, who took over in December with the club in the bottom three, Wolves have undergone a dramatic transformation.
00:19A six-game winning streak propelled them to 14th with safety secured with games to spare.
00:24First of all, Pereira changed a few things and we were able to score more and we had a few victories and we had more confidence, Andre told the club's official website.
00:36We were playing well and the players are doing fine. We have everything to go for next season and we'll fight for more.
00:44Pereira's impact has been both tactical and psychological. He's fostered a close-knit atmosphere with the squad, something Andre believes has been key.
00:53He's got the team gathered together and together it's easier. We know the fans will support us more as well, so he's been very important.
01:01The midfielder, who arrived from Fluminese last summer, admitted his debut season came with challenges.
01:08At the beginning it was hard, but I managed to adapt, he said.
01:11Wolves' winning streak, matching a club record from 1970, featured a 3-0 triumph over Leicester City, where Matthias Cunha starred.
01:20That result typified the team's renewed attacking spark and defensive cohesion.
01:25Even after back-to-back defeats halted their run, the mood remains positive.
01:30With Pereira steering Wolves clear of relegation, attention is beginning to shift toward how far this group can go under his leadership.
01:38Of the work of the team, the players, because we came here with the mentality to compete.
01:48We cannot control the result, because in football it's impossible to control the result, but we can control our attitude on the pitch.
01:57And we can lose a game, but we cannot lose our identity, cannot lose our spirit, we cannot lose our ambition.
02:05The turnaround has laid a solid platform for next season, and Andre believes the belief is only growing around Molyneux.
