The latest Wolverhampton Wanderers news from BirminghamLive as Molineux midfielder sets his goals for new season
Marshall Munetsi is relishing his role as a box-to-box midfielder – but wants to score more goals for Wolves.
Munetsi was a real find in January and contributed with two goals, although he was often in the right place to get a chance to score more.
“There were certain aspects the manager wanted me to do to help the team, considering they had seen me from afar, and one of them was my qualities of being a box-to-box midfielder and being able to defend and to also attack,’’ he said.
“I would have loved to have scored more goals with the chances I had, but unfortunately sometimes in football things don’t always work out the way you want.
“But, in general, I’ve been able to add more value to the team, especially without the ball, how our shape has become more solid, because we had been conceding a lot of goals, and also assisting when we attack.
"Overall, we managed to find a good way to integrate each and every player in the system we were using.
“I think he (manager Vitor Pereira) wanted players who can adjust and adapt because games don’t always go as planned and sometimes the manager will tell you to go on the right, go central, go in behind.
"It shows the quality, not only for me, but also for a lot of the players, like Joao (Gomes), (Jean-Ricner) Bellegarde, we always integrate those positions to try and find ways to break down opponents.
“I’ve always said that as long as I’m breathing, I’ll always give everything for the club. This is the mentality I have had since I was a kid. When people bring you to do a job, you want to do it to the best of your abilities and I think having that workrate is one of my qualities.
“I always want to run as much as I can to make sure we win games, and it’s fun when you also have people appreciate whatever you’re doing.
"At the end of the day, it’s more important to get good results, but those results only come after sacrificing blood, sweat and tears on the pitch.’’
