Zimbabwe international Marshall Munetsi has described his debut for Premier League outfit Wolverhampton Wanderers as a “dream come true.”
The 28-year-old featured for the last 24 minutes as Wolves defeated Blackburn Rovers 2-0 in the fourth round of the FA Cup at Ewood Park on Sunday. He came in after replacing Goncalo Guedes in the 66th minute.
“I’m so delighted, you know, because it has been a dream come true for me, representing a big club like Wolves,” said Munetsi as quoted by FARPost. “What a way to start; I think the guys had already done the most difficult job, to take the lead, and I was just there to do my small part.”
On how quickly he has settled in England, Munetsi said: “I think it has been very easy because everybody is very kind. Everybody is willing to help, you know, to assist me in getting comfortable.
“So I think it hasn’t been that difficult from the coaching staff to the players; they’re so kind. It has been just to get to know the system and to get to know how we play. Everything else has been very good.”
On his missed opportunity against Blackburn, the Warrior said: “I think it would have been a dream come true [to score], but you know we save the more goals to come in the upcoming games.
“But I was just happy to do a small part in the win, and hopefully, we can continue from here. I think you know, I’m 28 now, and there’s a lot that I’ve learned from football. So, I think it’s the right time for me to showcase it.
“And I was just delighted that they [Wolves fans] were cheering me on even though I didn’t manage to score. You know they gave me that energy to try and keep on going. Obviously we have some quality players, they were able to put in some good balls.
“And obviously we just have to keep on working and looking forward to the next coming games.”
Munetsi joined Wolves on deadline day from French Ligue 1 side Reims.
