Maybe, it’s a deliberate ploy for the local media, which is usually unapologetic when it comes to where its loyalties lie, to paint a picture to the Wolves fans that they have just recruited a fearless warrior. In football, if one can deal with Messi, he is considered to be someone who has very good defensive qualities. Munetsi battled Messi in a number of epic battles in France, including bullying the Argentina captain on his debut for Paris St Germain. Late yesterday, football writer Rosie Tudbill, writing for molinex.news, said Wolves have just stumbled on a player who has the qualities of being their captain. “In Munetsi, (Vitor) Pereira (Wolves manager) not only has a strong midfielder but also a player capable of wearing the armband, making his transfer an early success,” wrote Tudbill. “Some already believe Munetsi is well-suited to the Premier League as Matt Hobbs (Wolves sporting director) gave an insight into what fans can expect from the Zimbabwean. “The former Reims ace brings with him a host of experience from his time in Ligue 1, possessing qualities that could certainly help Pereira at this time. “Wolves wanted to sign a defensive midfielder but had to wait until deadline day after Manu Silva rejected a move to instead join Benfica. In Munetsi, Pereira finally has the profile he was seeking in the transfer market, with the 28-year-old sharing one part of his game that will certainly please Wolves fans.” Speaking to the Wolves Express podcast, Munetsi opened up about his leadership qualities and their importance. “I think as much as we play football we learn a lot, being a leader is something that is not easy,” He said. “You also need to learn how to help others, how to guide, how to lead by example on the pitch and off the pitch, something that I will also be able to bring to Wolves.” Having captained Reims at times during his time in France, the Zimbabwe international arrives at Molineux with the qualities needed to support the squad in-game. It’s a refreshing trait to bring to the current Wolves squad considering that the club’s leaders have been criticised this season. Such was reflected in the transfer window as Wolves looked to sign Conor Coady, their former captain, to integrate a strong-minded figure into the dressing room. − Sports Reporter/molineux.news
