Nunez: My Goal Is to Become a Champion with Ipswich

Marcelino Nunez is preparing for a fiery reception when he returns to Carrow Road with Ipswich on Saturday. The midfielder, who left Norwich for Ipswich in a £10m deal last summer, knows the East Anglian derby will be intense. In an interview with Sky Sports, Nunez reflected on his decision to join Ipswich, stating that his primary objective was to win the championship and become a champion. He expressed his gratitude to Norwich for the opportunity to play in Europe but felt that Ipswich, under the guidance of Kieran McKenna, offered a better chance of achieving his ambitions. Nunez has been instrumental in Ipswich's success this season, contributing eight assists and three goals, including two free-kicks in a 4-1 win over QPR. He credits McKenna with his impact, describing him as one of the best coaches he has had in his career. With Ipswich just a point behind Millwall in third place, Nunez is focused on helping his team secure promotion to the Premier League. He remains relaxed about Ipswich's prospects, citing the team's unity and McKenna's leadership as key factors in their success. Nunez's ultimate goal is to play in the Premier League, a dream he has held since childhood. He believes that with the team's solid foundation and McKenna's guidance, they will reach the Premier League.
