Micah Richards Highlights Matheus Cunha’s “Sensational Football IQ”

Former Premier League defender Micah Richards discussed Matheus Cunha’s performance on BBC Match of the Day following Saturday’s victory against Southampton. Richards relayed that “Gary O’Neil talked about getting him to to a position where he can affect the game and he was sort of playing as a left-centre.” Richards then offered his own evaluation of Cunha, stating: “His football IQ is absolutely sensational. He’s the one who can unlock the doors. He finds the little pockets of space and makes the right decisions at the right times.” He continued, “He’s always scanning where he needs to be and always plays the right pass. He is so key in what Wolves are trying to do. He is the best at everything.” Richards concluded his remarks by adding, “Off the ball, he can do a little bit more – but on the ball, he is certainly the main man in this team.”
