The father of a Wolves player talks about his son’s traumatic Euro call-up. “He couldn’t speak, he was crying.”

Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Pedro Neto is set to finally take part in a major international tournament.

The 24-year-old was forced to withdraw from the 2022 World Cup owing to an ankle ailment, and he also missed Euro 2020 due to a knee issue.

Despite his previous struggles with a hamstring ailment, he has already recovered in time for Roberto Martinez to call him up for the Euro 2024. Today’s Newspaper Record has an article about that circumstance and interviews Pedro Neto, his father, regarding the Wolves player’s thoughts on being called up.

There was hope, and he was in a position to be called up having been judged physically fit to play against Liverpool. “He called me immediately! He was sobbing, unable to speak, and extremely emotional.

Additionally, Neto’s father stated that his son is “very motivated” and focused on “unloading of previous frustrations.” Despite making his debut for his nation back in 2020, Neto has only five caps due to ailments that frequently prevent him from participating.

Despite missing almost 20 games due to a hamstring injury, Neto was able to record three goals and 11 assists in just 14 appearances while playing for Wolves this season.

In order to call him up, it appears that Roberto Martinez had to closely monitor his circumstances, and Neves will undoubtedly be highly motivated to do his nation proud in a major competition for the first time.
