Coach Vitor Pereira and player Nelson Semedo shared their thoughts about Zimbabwean midfielder Marshall Munetsi following his first goal for their English Premiership football club against Everton. Saturday saw Wolves earn a 1-1 draw with Everton, pushing them six points clear from the relegation zone at league bottom.
The team missed their star attacker, Matheus Cunha, during the match, which limited their attacking options going forward. Despite facing this challenge, Wolves played decent football and showed character coming from behind after Jack Harrison scored first for Everton.
Munetsi equalized thanks to an excellent through ball from teammate Jean-Ricner Bellegarde. Many supporters believe Bellegarde might become the replacement for absent Cunha. The goal came during just Munetsi's sixth appearance wearing Wolves colors, yet he hasn't played much at his natural position.
His regular role sits deeper as a box-to-box midfielder running between defense and attack. Coaches have placed him much higher upfield lately, often playing him almost as a second striker. During the Everton match, he started as an inside right forward but drifted centrally as Semedo provided width along the sideline.
His teammates were impressed by his finding the perfect position for the goal. Semedo mentioned on TNT Sports afterward that Munetsi absolutely deserved scoring based on his performances. He praised the Zimbabwean hard worker and expressed hope he would continue finding the net for their club.
Opening his scoring account helps build confidence following earlier missed chances. His Premier League start looks promising despite playing unfamiliar positions since arriving. Coaches appreciate his physical presence on the field and how he disrupts opposing defenders.
Manager Pereira heaped praise on Munetsi following the weekend match, echoing Semedo about how much he earned that goal. He specifically mentioned loving the speed Munetsi brings, plus his total commitment to helping teammates. The coach firmly believes more goals will come from the midfielder.
Fans worry about Munetsi's injury during the Everton contest. Everyone hopes it proves minor enough for a quick recovery. They eagerly want him back on the pitch to build momentum from his first club goal and continue making positive contributions to the team.
