WOLVES were quick to integrate Marshall Munetsi into Vitor Pereira’s squad following his January arrival.
The Zimbabwe international was one of two deadline day arrivals at Molineux in January. Munetsi has impressed since touching down in the West Midlands, signing from Stade Reims along with Emmanuel Agbadou.
Already off the mark in Old Gold, the 28-year-old is showing his worth in Pereira’s squad however, he believes the team he joined are far from where they should be.
Munetsi has adapted rapidly, given that the midfielder has only experienced football in Europe for four and a half years.
What the Zimbabwean learned in France with Reims sculpted him into the player he is today, testing himself against some of the continent’s best during his time in Ligue 1.
Munesti spoke about Agbadou with regard to his time in France and has since name-dropped two other Wolves players that impressed him before he signed. “I thought this team needs to be in the top ten,” Munetsi told Express and Star about his first impression of Wolves.
“Sometimes in football you never really know what’s going on behind the scenes, but for me, I saw the talent even from the first training session.”
The 28-year-old went on to name Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Pablo Sarabia as the two players he identified as having talent that deserved to be ‘higher up the table’. “I played against JJ (Bellegarde) and Sarabia in France and players like this should be higher up the table.
“We have to help in any way that we can, but the talent is truly there and the coach has so many options in defence, midfield and in attack.”
Munetsi thinks the talent Wolves have is far greater than the level that a 17th-place position portrays, singling out Bellegarde and Sarabia as two impressive individuals. Having come up against both Sarabia and Bellegarde during his time in France, Munetsi understood how dangerous the duo could be on their day.
While Bellegarde is discovering form and Sarabia is close to leaving Wolves, the pair left behind legacies in France. Sarabia contributed to 34 goals during his time at PSG, with Bellegarde rising through the ranks at RC Lens before joining Strasbourg, where he caught Wolves’ eye.
Wolves have a squad with vast experience of playing in multiple leagues across the globe, seeing two Ligue 1 experts added to the pack in January. —Molineuxnews
