The Wolves defender, on loan from Anderlecht, spoke after the FA Cup win over Liverpool. Here is what some fans have said in response.
Wolverhampton Wanderers will surely fancy their chances of enjoying a fruitful run in the FA Cup after their 2-1 win over Liverpool in the third round on Monday night.
At Molineux, the hosts opened the scoring through Raul Jimenez, who made the most of an error by Reds midfielder James Milner to rifle past Simon Mignolet.
Divock Origi equalised for the Premier League leaders six minutes after the break but Ruben Neves edged Wanderers ahead not long after thanks to a ferocious long-range effort.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s charges held out until the final whistle to knock Jurgen Klopp’s side out and deprive them the chance of matching Manchester United’s historic treble of 1998-99.
Leander Dendoncker also featured in the game, just his fifth appearance for Wolves since his summer loan switch from Belgian side Anderlecht.
Although the 23-year-old has been linked with a January departure (Voetbal International), his performances when called upon, alongside his latest comments on the club website, are sure to endear him further to many supporters.
“I’m a little tired but I’m happy for the team,” he said when asked about how he felt starting against the Reds. “I’m happy for the win, I’m happy for the people and we will see what comes.”
After the club shared the interview featuring his comments on Twitter, here is how some fans responded:
