Daniel Podence is hoping to guide Wolves to FA Cup glory this season. The Portuguese bagged a brace against Sheffield United at the weekend to see off the Championship side (3-0) and progress to the fourth round of the competition. Winning the cup multiple times in his native country with Moreirense and Sporting Lisbon, he hopes he can help his side deep into the competition.
Daniel Podence said: “It’s a dream playing in this kind of competition. As we all know it’s difficult to reach the top three, top four in the league, but we want to, and in this kind of competition, FA Cup and Carabao Cup, we can dream to win it because each game is one final, so we can dream about it. In Portugal I’ve won two or three with Sporting and Moreirense, I know how to do it, and I dream we can do it here.”
The Wanderers will now face fellow Premier League side Norwich City at the beginning of February at Molineux. Podence hopes for more of the same next time around.
Daniel Podence added: “For me, it doesn’t matter if it’s a cup or Premier League game. I want to enter the pitch to score and assist every game – sometimes the team helps me, sometimes I help the team. As soon as I get on to the pitch, I want to make goals, assist and be happy.”
The 26-year-old claimed his first goals since scoring in the Carabao Cup defeat against Tottenham Hotspur last September.
