Conor Coady reveals surprising inspiration for Wolves' high-flying feats

Wolf skipper Conor Coady believes he can draw on Leicester's "incredible" exploits to build on his team's success this season.

The promoted Wolves took the best of Leicester, their Midlands opponent, with a 4-3 win at the last minute on Saturday. They are now eighth in the Premier League – and their wealthy Chinese owners are just looking in the air.

Executive Chairman Jeff Shi has stated his goal of making the Wolves the best club in the world and overshadowing the heavy expense of Manchester City as the latest growing force in the game.

Super-agent Jorge Mendes helps the Wolves. One of his clients, Diogo Jota, was the inspiration to defeat the Foxes with a breathtaking hat trick. This included a time out after the win of the 2016 Premier League champions and the quarter finalists of the 2017 Champions League to tie twice.

Nuno Espirito Santo's team is back in League One Shrewsbury in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday after eliminating the leader of the Liverpool title race, and defender Coady admits that Leicester's past glory shows all that can be accomplished.

Coady said, "We are delighted to win such a match.

"There are some really good Midlands teams and you look at what Leicester did a few years ago. What they did for football is amazing. And what they did for the teams outside the top six is ​​unbelievable. "

A key element of the victory over Leicester was the long-term pbad of midfielder Ruben Neves to unlock the visitors. His brilliant pbad from close to home allowed the Portuguese compatriot Jota to raise the score to 3-2.

The two men have an intimate relationship after joining the Wolves in July 2017 after spending the previous season together in Porto.

Neves was also involved in the Jota winner, causing another incredible blow that opened the Foxes once again, allowing Raul Jimenez to score for the goal.

"It's part of my job, I always try to do my best," Neves said.

"We've been playing together for a third year so I know Diogo very well. I know the movements that he wants to do and likes to do. It makes things easier. He also knows how I play and how I see the game, so he's waiting for the balls. I hope that he will be able to score more now, everyone wants to score and help the team. "

Jota, who struck 18 times last term, scored five goals in five league matches while he waited until December to open his account.

Neves added, "I'm really happy for him. He is an incredible player, very talented. He showed this season too. He was then injured, but he came back and worked hard. He played a lot. "
