At Wolves, Vitor Pereira had the habit of celebrating wins by “being with the people”.<\/p>\n

“First the points, then the pints” was a phrase coined by the manager with the words even adorning a banner at Molineux, and he endeared himself to the supporters, and the city, with his desire to understand them and the area.<\/p>\n

Trips to the local Wetherspoons near the train station after victories became a fixture – with Molineux serenading him with ‘We’ll see you in ‘Spoons’ during games.<\/p>\n

“What do we do in Wolverhampton after a game? If I lose the game I stay home and drink my beer alone. If I win the game, I go with the supporters to celebrate,” Pereira told BBC Sport last May. <\/p>\n

“The connection with the people is stronger when we suffer together and, when you are in a situation where you are fighting for survival, you feel this connection.<\/p>\n

“In Wolverhampton, where do you want me to go? I must go to a pub, because this is the culture and where people go.<\/p>\n

“When I go to a pub it’s not about the beer. Of course I like the beer but I go to be with the people, to feel that I’m doing something to make them happy, to make them proud.<\/p>\n

“Work, home, then we go to a pub just for a beer or two beers and finish. This is our life.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Will it be ‘win, pub, repeat’ for Pereira at Forest?published at 12:03 GMT 12:03 GMT Fenerbahce v Nottingham…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":430464,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-430463","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430463","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=430463"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430463\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/430464"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=430463"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=430463"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=430463"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
