James Bird is on location with the Wolves first-team squad in the Algarve for an exclusive pre-season interview with Mateus Mane.

The Academy graduate reflects on making his Premier League debut at Anfield, the emotions of stepping onto one of football’s biggest stages, scoring his first top-flight goal, and what he learned from a challenging season for both himself and the club. He also discusses returning to Portugal with the squad, his first impressions of the new head coach, and why the players are fully focused on earning an immediate return to the Premier League.

Mane also talks about adapting to the Championship, learning from experienced teammates including Kieran Trippier and Raul Jiménez, his ambitions for the season ahead, and the message the new manager delivered to the squad from day one: “We will be champions.”
