For Wolverhampton Wanderers fans, the 2024/25 Premier League season has been one of mixed emotions.

When Gary O’Neil was sacked back in mid-December, the club sat second-bottom of the Premier League standings and were four points from safety, having incurred 11 defeats from their opening 16 games.

It appeared at that stage as though they were doomed to the drop, but the appointment of Vítor Pereira as O’Neil’s replacement has certainly provided everyone at the club with fresh impetus and a newfound belief.

As a result, they have taken 17 points from the Portuguese’s 13 matches in charge and now have a nine-point buffer between themselves and 18th-placed Ipswich Town.

There have been many players who have contributed to that turnaround in fortunes, with Matheus Cunha the one who is constantly mentioned in dispatches.

However, one who rarely receives the credit his efforts have merited is Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, yet there is so much that Wolves would struggle to do without him on the field.

This tactical analysis will seek to correct that, with the scout report highlighting what he offers to Wolves’ tactics under Pereira and why he has become a player they simply can’t be without.

Having players quickly react to a loss of possession is an issue that can plight even teams at the highest level in the game.

When coaching this aspect of the game, it is often useful to constantly have transition moments throughout other sessions.

Defensive transition can be a sub-focus in a session on building out from the back, for example.

This article provides some ideas for structuring a session on defensive transitions.

It will examine how to coach some of the basic tactics of defensive transition and analyze some of the key moments we may want to highlight in such a session.
