Rodrigo Muniz revealed he feels ‘at home’ with Fulham after hearing the Craven Cottage crowd sing his name following another peerless performance as the Whites dismantled Brighton and Hove Albion yesterday.
The Brazilian striker set up Harry Wilson’s wonderful opening goal with a brave header as he beat Aaron Webster in the build up before heading home an excellent cross from the Welsh winger to make it five goals in five fixtures since he returned to Marco Silva’s starting line-up.
Muniz told FFCTV after the final whistle:
“When we play at home, it is amazing because our fans help us a lot. I’m very happy to score [another] goal. I think more confidently now. My team-mates [have] helped me a lot, Marco gives me the confidence and now I feel at home. I worked three years for this time. When I saw [the Fulham fans chanting ‘Muniz!’], I said, ‘thanks, God, for this moment’. I have worked a lot, every day, to get these results. To keep my team-mates and Marco happy is amazing for me as well.
“We worked a lot during the week. We worked and prepared [on how] to win today. We know Brighton are a very good team. Marco said to me ‘you are too strong’ and ‘put your body on the defender’ and I said, ‘okay, [I will] try’ and the first time [I did it], the goal happened. I’m happy for Harry. He is an amazing player and he has helped me a lot. He scored a great goal and today I scored too with his assist. What a ball! We worked on this ball in training and it happened today.”
