Pereira is confident in his team's abilities, despite a relatively quiet transfer window. He stated, "I'm positive and excited because I believe in the Premier League. Each season is a new opportunity, and we need to adapt to the challenges that come our way. We'll need time to rebuild and reinforce our team identity."

Pereira mentioned that his team has some new players, and they are expecting to add a few more to their squad. However, he acknowledged that they are not yet at their best level. He emphasized the importance of continuous improvement, saying, "We need to be stronger in defense and attack, and I believe in our work and the squad."

Pereira is looking forward to facing Manchester City, led by manager Pep Guardiola. He considers Guardiola one of the best managers in the world, known for his ability to innovate and reinvent his team. Pereira respects Guardiola's approach, saying, "He gives a lot to football, and he's always trying to discover new things. I admire his passion and dedication to the sport."

Pereira's approach to the new season is centered around self-improvement and expressing the team's identity. He believes that with hard work and determination, his team can achieve their goals.
