Nunez: My Goal is to Become a Champion with Ipswich

Marcelino Nunez is anticipating a hostile 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. He played a crucial role in helping Ipswich beat their rivals for the first time in 16 years, scoring the decisive goal in the previous East Anglian derby. Nunez celebrated the win by waving a corner flag in front of jubilant Ipswich fans, a moment he describes as spontaneous and emotional. The Chile international feels he is well-equipped to handle the pressure of the derby, having played in intense matches in South America. He is motivated to face his former team and is focused on helping Ipswich achieve their goal of promotion to the Premier League. Nunez has been instrumental in Ipswich's success this season, with a win rate of 70 per cent in the 20 games he has started. He credits his coach, Kieran McKenna, for his impact and believes the team has the resources and mentality to become champions. Reaching the Premier League would be a dream come true for Nunez, who has always wanted to play in the top flight. With seven games remaining, Ipswich is in a strong position to achieve promotion, and Nunez is confident that the team will reach the Premier League.
