"I've always said that I want to remain in this place for as long as I'm wanted," Fernandes said. "The moment I feel that I'm not 100% wanted, then I will talk to the club and say that I want to leave. I would like to try the Spanish league because I've never played in Spain. "I would like to play for one of the clubs in Italy that competes for big aims like the league title, especially because I really enjoyed living in Italy."
If I had said I wanted to leave, they would have let me go. From the club's side, I felt a bit like, if you leave, it's not so bad for us.' It hurts me a bit. More than hurting, it makes me sad because I'm a player who has nothing to criticize. I'm always available, I always play, good or bad.
Fernandes capitalised on an error from Andre on 25 minutes, as the Brazilian midfielder was robbed in his own half by Casemiro, who found Matheus Cunha. The returning Molineux hero unseflishly sought out his captain, who, under great pressure from Cristian Mosquera, squeezed home past Sam Johnstone. Cunha was denied a goal against his old employers by Emmanuel Agbadou's last-ditch clearance off the line.
You know that Erling Haaland is the top scorer in the Premier League and that David Raya is great at keeping them out at the other end of the pitch, but what about the quirkier metrics? Who covers the pitch but sees the penalty area as their kryptonite? Which defender loves one-v-one battles? Who prefers to shoot without taking a touch to settle themselves?
