Wolverhampton Wanderers fans are in disbelief after Matheus Cunha’s controversial post-match interview following his red card in Wolves’ FA Cup penalty loss to Bournemouth. Instead of showing remorse, the Brazilian forward made comments that many supporters found dismissive and disrespectful, fueling outrage among the Wolves faithful.
Cunha’s Red Card and Wolves’ FA Cup Exit
The FA Cup fifth-round clash against Bournemouth ended in heartbreak for Wolves. After conceding an early goal, Cunha leveled the score, keeping Wolves in contention. The game remained locked at 1-1 through extra time, but just before the final whistle, Cunha was sent off for a reckless head-butt.
Reduced to ten men, Wolves struggled in the penalty shootout and ultimately lost 5-4, crashing out of the competition. While fans were already angered by Cunha’s actions, what he said after the game has made matters even worse.
Cunha’s Post-Match Comments That Left Fans Stunned
In his interview, Cunha failed to acknowledge his mistake and instead played down the impact of his red card. His words have spread rapidly online, with many Wolves supporters criticizing his attitude.
Key Quotes That Sparked Outrage
“Football is emotional. These things happen. I don’t think it changed the result. We win as a team, we lose as a team.”
“I was just defending myself. I don’t regret it.”
“If I hadn’t been sent off, we might have still lost the penalties.”
For Wolves fans, these comments were infuriating. Many expected Cunha to take responsibility for his actions, but instead, they felt he was making excuses and refusing to admit his costly mistake.
Fan Reaction: “Unforgivable and Unprofessional”
Supporters flooded social media with furious reactions, demanding accountability. Some called for Cunha to be benched, while others questioned whether he deserved to stay at the club.
One angry fan posted:
“Cunha cost us the game, and instead of apologizing, he acts like it didn’t matter? Unforgivable.”
Another supporter wrote:
“If you can’t admit your mistakes, you don’t deserve to wear the Wolves shirt. His attitude is unacceptable.”
Many fans are also urging Wolves manager Vítor Pereira to take strong action against Cunha to set an example for the squad.
With the controversy intensifying, Pereira is under pressure to address the situation. His options include: Benching Cunha for upcoming matches to reinforce accountability.
• Holding private discussions with Cunha to ensure he understands the consequences of his actions.
Pereira must now decide how to handle one of his key players while keeping the team’s focus on the Premier League campaign.
Wolves need to put this drama behind them and focus on their upcoming fixtures, but Cunha’s actions continue to dominate headlines. If he does not attempt to mend his relationship with fans and teammates, the situation could escalate further.
All eyes are now on Wolves’ next move. Will Cunha apologize and rebuild trust, or will this controversy deepen the divide? One thing is clear: Wolves fans won’t forget this anytime soon.
