Marco Silva hopes Fulham can react positively to last defeat

The 2024/25 Premier League will usher in the 27th round of the game, and Fulham will go to Molineux to challenge Wolves. Marco Silva said that he hopes the team can respond positively from the loss in the last game and believes that his team can put any opponent in trouble.

In the last round of the league, Fulham suffered an own goal and conceded a goal by Joachim Andersen, and finally lost to Crystal Palace 0-2 at home. Fulham is currently ranked 10th in the Premier League standings with 39 points, and has achieved 3 wins and 2 losses in the past 5 rounds.

Fulham manager Marco Silva said, “When you don’t play to your level in a game and fail to meet expectations, the best way is to get to the next game as soon as possible. This will be a difficult away game, but we are also very competitive away from home this season and have achieved good results. We have also had outstanding performances, so we can put our opponents in trouble in any stadium.”

“We hope to continue this performance and, more importantly, react positively to the performance and result of the last game.”

In addition, Wolves defeated Bournemouth 1-0 away from home after Cunha scored in the last round, and currently ranks 17th in the standings with 22 points. In order to stay further away from the relegation zone, Wolves will do their best to win 3 points.

Will not just mark Cunha

In terms of the record of confrontation, Fulham has only achieved 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses in the last 5 matches against Wolves, including a 1-4 loss to Wolves at home in the first round of this season.

Talking about Wolves striker Cunha, Marco Silva said, "He is a top player, but when studying Wolves, we will not only focus on Cunha, because that is unfair to them. They have many international players in their lineup, and there are 3 Brazilian internationals in the starting eleven. Their two wingbacks are also players of their respective national teams, and there are excellent players in various positions."

"It's not fair to talk about Cunha alone, but he can make the difference at any moment in the game. He can score goals and provide assists. He is not just in good form recently, but he has always been able to play a key role and make an impact. In recent games, although he plays as a striker, he prefers to attack from the left, which gives him a certain degree of freedom. He can appear on the right, return to the left, and sometimes suddenly appear in unexpected positions."

Marco Silva also said, "From an overall perspective, we need to control the situation well. We certainly won't just mark him alone, that would be wrong because Wolves have other players who can change the situation."
