Van Nistelrooy emphasized that teams in the Premier League are constantly judged, and he expects more from his players in terms of intensity, winning duels, and maintaining possession.
In the first half, Leicester City struggled to match the intensity they needed, which led to many transition moments that Wolves capitalized on. Van Nistelrooy was disappointed with this aspect of the game, as it's something that can be managed with the right mindset.
However, the team showed improvement in the second half, which is a positive sign. Van Nistelrooy sees this as a foundation for better performances, but acknowledges that the team's confidence is currently a challenge.
The manager also mentioned that the team's captain, Jamie Vardy, is in his final game for the club, and the players want to see him in his best shape possible. Despite this, the team's confidence dips in crucial moments, making it difficult for them to perform well.
