Nunez: My Goal Is to Become a Champion with Ipswich

Marcelino Nunez is preparing for a fiery reception when he returns to his former club, Norwich, with his new team, Ipswich, on Saturday. Nunez made the switch from Norwich to Ipswich in August, becoming the first player to do so since Andy Marshall in 2001. The move was a significant challenge for Nunez, but he was motivated by the prospect of helping Ipswich end their 16-year wait for a win over their rivals. He played a crucial role in Ipswich's 3-1 victory over Norwich, coming off the bench to set up the third goal. Nunez's celebrations that day were spontaneous, and he waved a corner flag in front of the jubilant Ipswich fans. The Chile international is unfazed by the hostile reception that awaits him at Carrow Road, citing his experience of intense derbies in South America. Nunez feels that his move to Ipswich was a positive step in his career, and he is focused on achieving his goal of becoming a champion. He credits Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna with creating a united and focused team, and he believes that the team has the resources to establish themselves as a strong team and fight for promotion. Nunez has been instrumental in Ipswich's success this season, with eight assists and three goals, including two free-kicks in a 4-1 win over QPR. He praises McKenna for his impact, saying that he is one of the best coaches he has had in his career. Nunez is relaxed about Ipswich's promotion prospects, with seven remaining Championship games, and he believes that reaching the Premier League would allow him to realize a childhood dream.
