How Marshall Munetsi’s Surprising Midfield Surge Could Ignite Wolves’ Title Ambitions
Midfielders Andre and Marshall Munetsi played together 25 times in the Premier League. Given their fortunes last season, that’s not automatically a good thing.
Working as a first-choice partnership in a team expected to win is a new test and it generally looks good on them.
Added attacking impetus from the heart of the team
But the secret sauce, the flavour-packed additional topping that keeps central defenders honest, is a result of the way Lopez and Munetsi interact.
Lopez drops into the middle of the pitch, often far enough to take the ball off Wolves’ defenders. Where other teams might use this extra man to boost their midfield numbers, Peixoto has a midfielder who will add sharpness to the shape by making the run of a forward and causing mayhem.
