Rodrigo Muniz said he was ‘confident, happy and prepared to play more’ after scoring a stoppage-time equaliser to earn Fulham a point at Brighton and Hove Albion this afternoon.
The Brazilian striker has been heavily linked with a move to Atalanta over the past fortnight but he came off the bench to rescue a point for the Whites with virtually the last kick of the game at the AMEX Stadium.
Speaking after the final whistle to FFCTV, Muniz said:
“It felt very good. I am very happy to score a goal and start the season scoring goals. Let’s go to Sunday. I’m confident and I’m happy. It is more important to be happy. I’m prepared to play more. When you are confident, it is easier to say, ‘Okay, it’s my time. It’s time and I’m going to score now.’ It happened again! To be a good striker, you need to be ready inside the box. You need to sharp. Yeah, it was a good goal.”
Muniz celebrated his equaliser by holding a Fulham scarf above his head in front of the away fans – and admitted this wasn’t one of his pre-planned celebrations.
“My celebration was in the moment because when we score in the last minute, it’s always a different time. I was emotional and very happy in front of the Fulham fans. I love them!
It is always difficult to play here. Brighton is a big club. They have good players. We came here to win. We didn’t win, but we have one point. Now, we have to go to the next game.”
Please don’t leave Fulham Rodrigo we need you to stay.
Hope he stays otherwise we are ……..
My gut feeling tells me we are going to struggle to hit the back of the net unless we add proven quality to the squad. After today’s game I feel for Marco, he has stayed loyal to the club and deserves much more.
As for O’Reilly sure he enjoyed that against us, but Rodrigo had the last laugh.
Absolutely John absolutely!!
He did not strike me as a player who did not want to play for the club like Mitro. He gave everything I still believe if he is given a decent contract he would stay but his agent is pressuring him to leave. He is worth much more than 43 million. Keep him even if it means spending less in the transfer which to date is nothing. Maybe go back ti the Nelson option rather than spending 40 million on Kevin who at the moment has an injury issue
Everyone keeps on about Kevin’s injury. Is this just hearsay and repetition or do we have credible evidence that its true? If it is why would the club pay a club record fee for a player who is injured? Anyway, isn’t this what medicals are for?
Well played Rodrigo, you know how much your loved by us. All I would say is the grass isn’t always greener on the other side as plenty of players have found out after they have moved on.
Your part.of this team and part of our future just keep playing and scoring. We will continue to love you.
Stay where the fans love you Rodrigo!
