Alious**Marshall Munetsi Reflects on ‘Dream Come True’ Wolves Debut as Premier League Bow Looms**
Marshall Munetsi described his Wolves debut as a “dream come true” after featuring in the FA Cup fourth-round victory over Blackburn Rovers. The Zimbabwean midfielder, who arrived from French side Reims in a £15 million deadline day deal, made his first appearance as a second-half substitute, helping Wolves secure a 2-0 win at Ewood Park.
Reflecting on the milestone moment, Munetsi was full of pride and gratitude:
*”I’m absolutely thrilled—it’s genuinely a dream come true to represent a prestigious club like Wolves. It was the perfect way to start. The team had already done the hard work by securing the lead, and I was just focused on contributing in any way I could.”*
Adjusting to life at Molineux has been smooth for the 27-year-old, thanks to the warm welcome from both the coaching staff and his new teammates.
*”Everyone has been incredibly supportive, making it easy to settle in. From the coaching staff to the players, there’s been nothing but kindness and encouragement. It’s really just been about learning the system and adapting to our style of play,”* Munetsi explained.
Having experienced English football for the first time at Ewood Park, Munetsi was also struck by the passionate Wolves supporters who filled the away end.
*”In France, the atmosphere is good, but in England, the fans take it to another level. The Wolves supporters were unbelievable—it gives you that extra push, even in the final minutes. Their energy was truly inspiring, and I felt their love from the moment I stepped onto the pitch.”*
Now, Munetsi is preparing for his Premier League debut, with Wolves set to face league leaders Liverpool at Anfield this weekend—a challenge he’s eager to embrace.
Reflecting on Wolves’ controlled performance against Blackburn, Munetsi praised the team’s tactical discipline:
*”The manager made it clear from the start that it wouldn’t be an easy game. Blackburn are dangerous, especially from set-pieces, so we focused on staying calm and picking the right moments to attack. The lads executed that perfectly in the first half, and we managed the game well in the second. We could’ve scored more, but we’re pleased with the result.”*
With a fifth-round FA Cup tie against Bournemouth on the horizon and a potential quarter-final spot up for grabs, Munetsi’s promising start adds another layer of excitement to Wolves’ season.
