Marco Silvaspoke about the final fixture on the road for Fulham in the Premier League.
The Cottagers suffered successive defeats against Arsenal (3-0) and Bournemouth (1-0) earlier this month that have dented their aspirations to qualify for continental competition.
‘Players want to show their capacities’
But they will be hedging their bets that they can defeat Wolves, who still sit at the bottom of the table, and a victory could keep their outside hopes of European football alive until the last matchday.
Silva has sustained his respect for Wolves, who are only 3 points behind 19th placed Burnley and have pulled off some big scalps against the top five teams in the table under Rob Edwards.
“I know that they are relegated, but if I go back and look for, for example, their last six home games, I saw them winning against Liverpool, I saw them winning against Villa, I saw them get a great result [2-2] against the team that is on top of the table [Arsenal] in the Premier League, that is fighting to be champions.
“And if you think that even if they are or not relegated, it’s going to be easy or not, when you have these type of games, players want to show their capacities – individual point of view, them as a football club, and of course they want to win the game as well.
“It’s that feeling [for Wolves] of last game of the season at home with your fans, you know what that represents as well. They want to finish in a different way. Everything is there, and that showed to me that it’s going to be a difficult game.
“I didn’t know about the double over Wolves – let’s go for it. But the first thing you have, I’m not talking about respecting themselves, more to respect ourselves, what we have been doing, and the points that are there for us to fight for.”
