Wolves boss makes demands of star forward Matheus Cunha
Wolves boss Vitor Pereira has demanded Matheus Cunha to improve off the ball if he wants to become one of the world’s best players.
Although illness kept him out of training on Friday, the head coach is hopeful Cunha will be ready to start at Chelsea on Monday and the 25-year-old is hoping to build on an excellent season that has seen him score 10 Premier League goals in 20 games.
The Brazilian returned from suspension in midweek but was only fit enough to play from the bench at Newcastle – and Pereira has given him areas to improve if he wants to realise his potential.
“He can pull a rabbit out of the hat, he can make magic in the moment on the pitch and create something special.
“This is my conversation with Cunha, we know he has the technical level, the skills, but to be a top top level player he must be committed in every moment in the game.
“If we lose the ball, he must give the first example to the others by running to get the ball again.
“Compact the team, recover positions – this is the behaviour and personality for the top level players.
“This is what I’m demanding from him.”
