Alex Iwobi credits Marco Silva's leadership for Fulham's rise in the Premier League. The Nigerian midfielder, who's had his most productive season, praises Silva's attention to detail and commitment to excellence. Iwobi's contributions have been key in Fulham's strong start to the 2024/2025 campaign.
Alex Iwobi, Fulham’s attacking midfielder, has shared the secret behind the team’s strong performance under head coach Marco Silva. Fulham’s impressive form this season, which has seen them rise to the top half of the Premier League, contrasts sharply with their 13th-place finish in the 2023/2024 campaign. Iwobi has played a crucial role in the team’s success, contributing five goals and three assists, marking his most productive season yet.
Speaking about the team's improvements, Iwobi credited Silva’s leadership and attention to detail as pivotal factors. He emphasized that Silva’s approach goes beyond football tactics, highlighting how the coach’s attention and care for all staff members, from players to canteen staff, sets the tone for the club's culture. According to Iwobi, Silva’s consistent demand for excellence has translated into better performances on the pitch.
Silva's decision to bring Iwobi to Fulham from Everton two years ago has proven to be a wise one, with both the player and the manager flourishing in their collaboration. Iwobi’s contributions have been central to Fulham’s success, and the team’s setup has been praised by rivals like Chelsea's head coach, Enzo Maresca, who praised Fulham’s ability to transition and the quality of players like Iwobi.
Fulham will continue their campaign with a match against Ipswich Town on January 5, 2025, as they look to build on their strong performances under Silva’s guidance.
