New Wolverhampton Wanderers’ announcement video of the signing of superstar Diego Costa scared the hell out of him even though he tried keeping a calm face.
Costa’s reputation as ‘The Beast’ precedes him as he makes his return to the Premier League with Wolverhampton Wanderers but even with such a tough nickname, he admitted that shooting the video with wolves him scared.
“I was scared to death. Holding that chain I kept thinking, ‘What if this wolf thinks about jumping on top of me?’ and then the three of them did,” Costa said in an interview with the club.

“Because the lady training them kept calling them, asked them to move around a little… the wolves didn’t do a single thing. I thought, ‘If they’re not doing anything with the trainer, if they come…’
“When they came and smelled my foot, I knew I was done for.”

The star, who could make his Wolves debut on Saturday when his new side hosts Manchester City, said that even though he has five dogs, shooting with wild animals, even though trained, felt different.
“Those were wolves, not dogs. It was a cool experience but not a very comfortable one. I have five dogs, but they’re not wolves!” Costa said.
