Ricardo Santos is feeling positive as Wanderers gear up to face Leyton Orient after a successful pre-season. Despite the disappointment of their play-off defeat against Oxford, Santos believes that the team should use it as motivation and hunger for the upcoming season.
During the summer break, Santos made sure to take a mental break from football to avoid dwelling on the past. He emphasized the importance of not letting the previous season affect their mindset going into the new one. However, Santos also believes that using that pain as fuel can drive the team to perform better this season.
The squad had some challenging pre-season matches against tough opponents, which Santos thinks will benefit them in the long run. He noted the progression and improvement the team has shown over the years and is optimistic about a successful season ahead.
With new addition Scott Arfield bringing his experience and leadership to the team, Santos is confident that the squad is in a good place. Arfield’s presence in the changing room has already made a positive impact, and Santos believes that his experience will be invaluable as the season progresses.
As they prepare to face Leyton Orient, Santos is excited about the challenge that lies ahead. He acknowledged the tough competition in League One but expressed his readiness for the battle on the pitch. The team is focused on making a winning start in the league, and Santos is looking forward to the opportunity to showcase their hard work and determination on Saturday.
