Matheus Cunha was pleased he was able to provide the Wolves supporters with an early Christmas present as he found the net once again in the Old Gold’s win over Leicester City.
The Brazilian has been in fine form this season, despite the situation which sees his side go into the festive period two points from Premier League safety, and with another goal added to his collection, Cunha hopes he can keep providing for the team so Wolves can get out of danger this season.
On three points at Leicester
“It was so good for us today. The last game was something that we needed to forget fast and then go again.
“With new spirit in the group, that's helping us a lot. We showed that we can keep going.”
On a first game under Vitor Pereira
“It’s hard to say, because after someone that you like goes, it’s difficult, but then someone new has come in with new ideas.
“But we need to keep going, with this new spirit that he brings and his new ideas. He has started to push us to go up, and we want to show everyone that we can keep going with him.”
On scoring his ninth goal of the season
“I'm happy. I’m happy because the most important thing is not scoring goals, but helping the team, but sometimes when you play, you’re thinking about scoring or assisting, but I also have to understand a little bit more of the game.
“In the last minute, I have to go back and defend at left back. But this is the kinds of things that show you that football is much more than scoring goals.
“But, of course, for someone in my position, I need to score and today I did score, so I'm happy about everything that I was able to show today.”
On Christmas cheer
“Of course it was a very good way to celebrate Christmas, and now we get a little bit of time to treat my family, but merry Christmas to everyone too.”
