Joao Moutinho has a reputation for being resilient, and yesterday he accomplished something truly amazing. The former Wolves player
After spending his last few years at Molineux, the midfield player left Wolves in the summer, capping off five fantastic years with the team.
When Wanderers returned to the Premier League in 2018 after being promoted from AS Monaco, they acquired Moutinho.
With Moutinho at thirty-one years old, supporters didn’t really expect much when £5 million was paid to bring him in.
However, he turned out to be a fantastic acquisition, and many supporters still believe that he is among the best players to have ever worn the old gold jersey.
At Wolves, Moutinho’s availability was one of his most outstanding qualities. The star was continually able to play for Wolves, exactly like all his prior teams.
This outstanding quality of Moutinho’s resulted in an extremely noteworthy accomplishment yesterday.
Joao Moutinho, a former Wolves star, plays in his 1,000th professional match.
Following his departure from Wolves, Moutinho returned home to join Braga.
The seasoned player has made 23 appearances for the team so far this season, contributing one assist and two goals.
In the 20-year Taca de Portugal match versus Benfica, he made his 1000th appearance as a professional player, making it an extremely memorable occasion.
Unfortunately for Moutinho and Braga, Benfica won the match 3-2.
But it was terrific to watch someone exceed such a milestone, especially someone who devoted five years of such a fantastic career to Wolves.
A superb athlete and professional
