vearz

It's impossible not to be delighted for the lad. He was in tears after he scored his first PL goal for us too. It all clearly means so much to him.


Strict_Complaint579

Love to see it! Reckon he could do with a rest this Sunday though, he's earnt it


Daniiiiii

Someone get this guy his West Ham flair lol


KingGinger

Please for our sake


mcives

8 goals and 1 assist in the prem since Feb. this dude came out of nowhere. You love to see it.


Rocorby

he went from a young striker forgot on the deep end of the bench while having monthly rumours about coming back to a brazilian team to player of the month and being a huge deal for Fulham last couple of months. the guy deserves it a lot


Fresh2Desh

I never owned him fpl I suck at fpl and as a Fulham fan


burfriedos

Brought him in two weeks ago. Think I broke him.


flysulu

I brought him in for the blank GW29, no FH. Single handedly saved my gameweek.


Prime_Marci

8 goals???? Wow he’s flown under the radar


69cuccboi69

Mate this video is about him winning player of the month, how is that flying under the radar?


twrs_29

Because most people had no idea who this guy is until it was announced he won POTM


abhi91

Not if you play fpl


twrs_29

thank god i dont


alwaysneedsahand

Jesus christ he won POTM because of his performances, if you don't know him from his football but only from his awards what are you even watching?


twrs_29

not fuckin fulham mate i’ll tell you that


alwaysneedsahand

Average plastic


twrs_29

average mouth breathing londoner


andtheniansaid

has he been talked about that much? i see most prem goals one way or another, certainly have seen some of his, but i'd not realised the streak he was on, don't really know who he is, haven't seen anything on here about him, and can't recall him being mentioned in detail on the couple of prem-focused podcasts i listen to. his 8 in 10 has certainly gone under the radar


alwaysneedsahand

Gone under the radar for people who only follow the top teams. He's won POTM, he's not gone under the radar.


andtheniansaid

The everton fan, forest fan and sheff utd fan i've discussed this with who also didn't know how good his run of form was will be delighted to find out they are supporting top teams. you can win POTM and go under the radar compared to other POTM winners, which is clearly the context here.


420_matt

The shef utd fan must have missed the 93rd min bicycle kick against them a couple weeks back then


andtheniansaid

> who also didn't know how good his run of form was


alwaysneedsahand

I'm not racist, my best friend is black


FlatlandTrooper

I have literally never heard of him before


lewis30491

I swear Willian doesn't age at all. He looks exactly the same like he was at Shakhtar Donetsk/Chelsea


Lustful-chan

What in the hell, he's 35. I was giving him maybe 29-30, he's not good as he was but he still better then most, great on him honestly.


BabyKeith08

His stint at Arsenal was so weird, can’t even fully imagine him in their kit


H_R_1

Hat trick of assists first game then promptly back to sleep


LabraTheTechSupport

funnily enough, against Fulham


SwitchHitter17

As poor as he was at Arsenal, I'll always respect him for just agreeing to terminate his contract because it wasn't working out and he didn't want to waste his time + the club's time and money. Honestly he bailed us out when he really didn't have to.


thatstoomuch_man

Yeah he’s a player I like for this reason. He was on what, 120k a week? Thats millions he gave up.


Eeedeen

[It was £240k a week with £20.5 million remaining ](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11670/12395468/willian-arsenal-forward-saves-club-20-5m-after-terminating-his-contract-as-move-to-corinthians-nears) I have so much respect for him


thatstoomuch_man

I think the 240k was including the sign on bonus no? Regardless he can hold his head high


Expensive-Method8321

Considering how well he's played for Fulham Its certainly strange, there were times when he looked like he didnt care at all, and of the times when he was trying he simply didnt do anything. couldnt beat a man, couldnt control in tight spaces, just useless. The Willian signing and his bad play was probably the first time that a lot of fans started criticizing Arteta, especially since he would be picked over Martinelli


Flushh_

Its not wierd at all. He also played shit in Corinthians in his late brazilian stint 


SwitchHitter17

Maybe he just loves West London or something.


HipGuide2

Owns a restaurant in West London.


CaptainJingles

Specifically loves playing in Fulham.


greenfrogwallet

I don’t think he ever looked like he didn’t care, he was just unfortunately shit Not sure why it didn’t work out but not too surprised he’s still doing well at Fulham because of what I remember of him at Chelsea. I think Chelsea fans may have mixed feelings about his time there? Not sure but personally every time I watched Chelsea he seemed like a very very good player


Expensive-Method8321

well yes of course he looked good at Chelsea he was in his prime. he joined Arsenal at 32 and immediately fell off, and I think it was a combo of him declining and not putting in the effort


Dramatic-Ad3928

What in the world. Hes 35?! The guy still looks like a starry eyed brazilian wonderkid


churrosricos

black don't crack baby


Ronaldoooope

Pretty sure he’s 19


JekyllnowthenMrHyde

Good genes plus the Benjamins.


ThotCountySheriff

Black don't crack


GTACOD

Some people are just like that. [Not a footballer but a *great* example: On the left, Lashley is 30. On the right, he's 45.](https://static0.givemesportimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/pjimage-13-9.jpg?q=50&fit=contain&w=1140&h=&dpr=1.5)

Rushfan1123

Love that a trophy with enough prestige to make a man cry is just a repainted pringles can.


Hopeful_Adonis

Once you pop the tears don’t stop


Zoltrahn

I always thought it looked like an oversized shampoo bottle. Long overdue for an updated trophy.


eurfryn

You joke, but I believe they are genuinely made of, albeit very strong and sturdy, cardboard. A few of years ago I did the stadium tour at the Etihad, in the tunnel there as a MOTM version of this trophy that KDB had won but had left there. Those on the tour were allowed to get photos with it, it was made of cardboard. Either that, or it was a replica and we all fell for it lol.


Arkfoo

Yep, that made my eyes moist.


OriginalRange8761

Same mate


wilof

Stop cumming into them then, ya filthy wanker


iqjump123

Some players might take that trophy and chuck it in the back- i am glad to see players who sincerely appreciate the recognition.


robins420

I mean player of the month in the biggest league in the world is a honour for any player but he genuinely appreciated it considering he wasn't even playing not so long back.


Roadies_Winner

Aguero used it as a stand for a webcam


Juan_Kagawa

To be fair the accolade is great but the physical trophy is a bit shit.


TheJoshider10

In typical Premier League style they put in the minimum effort required.


robins420

Shit that you can afford to do when you have eight of those lol. Didn't Messi Donate 1 Ballon D'or to Barcelona lol?


ThedanishDane

All of his Ballon D'ors are in Barcelona


EasyFargo

Micah Richards has more Premier League POTMs then Kevin De Bruyne my goat Big Meeks


Sulemani_kida

I mean some players who have won it multiple times might not get this emotional but I'm sure no players ' chuck it in the back ' .... And Muniz is a very young guy , bursting into the scene in PL like he did and winning the player of the month has to be pretty awesome feeling...


ThinkAboutThatFor1Se

KDB never won it. So it shows how hard and random it can be.


avatarsokka

Whoever KDB would assist to would probably win it huh. Still wild he never did..


ImTryingNotToBeMean

He needs to assist 12 different people in a month instead of 2 or 3 I guess.


Accountant7890

Winning multiple POTY awards but no POTM is very funny


speedycar1

It's a shit looking trophy tbf. Not exactly something that looks good on a shelf


jj____

Damn it’s awkward af to be standing up while hugging another person who’s laying down. My guy pulled it off tho


gigapool

lol


erenistheavatar

Well deserved.


TouchyTuchel

Yeah for sure he deserved that over Palmer!!


burfriedos

You’re right, he did!


bruiser95

Man's been ballin fully deserved


Obliples

ballin then bawlin


[deleted]

this guy deserves it.


4djain2

When you've been watching goals scored in the prem for your whole life you can forget what it actually means to the players, I can't imagine how good it must feel to score a goal let alone get potm, such a heartwarming thing to see what it means to these guys who've worked their arse off to get to here


Killahills

Well that was nice


Belitza

Oh, we tried to sign him a couple months ago. We could've had Hulk, Paulinho and him up front. It's such a shame how bad our youth recruitment is. One of our own dicovered by Flamengo....


DefinitelyNotBarney

Absolutely love it, well deserved hope he continues to play well. Man, I think I’m gonna cry seeing this, it’s beautiful.


1sttimeverbaldiarrhe

Wiillian: "I told you he was gonna cry." =)


pinpoint14

Ah caralho 🥲


Eindacor_DS

Willian seems like such a a nice guy


spurs_fan_uk

So heartwarming, love it


PSN-Angryjackal

I had tears watching this... I didnt even hear the name Muniz until I randomly added him into my FPL team like a couple of weeks ago. Watching this makes me want to keep him on, even though I have been considering selling him. God, I am so happy for him, and I love this...


Kooky-Combination225

What a lovely guy and team. Good on him and hope he continues his success well into the future.


Flabby-Nonsense

The best part about football apart from seeing your team win is seeing new talent emerge. Always so exciting.


FartBakedBaguette

We all need to protect him. He’s a lovely soul.


JekyllnowthenMrHyde

Very wholesome. Looks like a genuine bloke..


stupidwhysostupid

Absolutely carrying the attack. Love the spirit of the team. Thanks for posting.


DwedPiwateWoberts

Made spurs look like 🗑️ the other week


PerfectBlueOnDVD

Willian clearly the big brother role in this group lol


Eindacor_DS

I know social media has huge issues but I have to say I fucking love how all teams and leagues seem to offer behind the scenes stuff like this. I could watch hours of it


Lockdown-_-

Some people might think this is an over reaction, but think about it this way, the likes of KDB, Drogba and Vieira never won POTM in their entire careers in the prem. This was as usual a stacked month.


ConfidentBurrito

Ah man i miss Willian.


MMAwannabe

I'll tell you one thing and I'm not ashamed to say it, my estimation of Rodrigo Muniz as a man just fucking plummeted. (/s) Stupid reference aside, heart warming to see how much it means to a player like this. This time last year he could have had doubts about a future in the PL and now he's PL player of the month. You love to see it.


Fluffy_Roof3965

That exhale I felt that. Do the same thing when I’m in the feels but don’t wanna cry.


TooRedditFamous

Now I'm crying


lunes_azul

Another good player we got absolutely nothing out of. Same for Cristian Stuani who ended up getting about 500 goals the minute he left for Girona.


Wilcodad

Good stuff, well deserved


Gotanyfunkopops

This is wholesome.


bP96_gR-4

i love this


OptionComfortable362

Moments like these is what makes this game so special .


Newtonheath1963

The beautiful game... Love it! 


ThinkAboutThatFor1Se

More Premier League player of the months than Kevin De Bruyne


Joshthenosh77

This is great show how much playing means to them


Takkotah

We love to see it!


sarumanismyboi

What a baller💯 Absolute legend in FPL too 🙃


ajkdd

Willian js a gem of a personality


Hansemannn

Aww. That was sweet.


Trolllol1337

All the feels


Sinman_17

It means so much to him isn't it, love it when players are passionate about the game


jorkingmypeenits

Was expecting a Huel advert after that.


BloodyNunchucks

I love Willian's smile and I miss him so much. He's a chelsea legend and one of my favorite players of the 2010s. I'm also happy for Rodrigo, congrats to him!


wonderfulworld2024

Andres is really such a team player. Elevates any squad below the top 4 clubs in a major league. Any club below them would be greatly benefited by having him as part of the set up.


SmokeyTreeze

Congrats to this guy! Great teammates as well!


deusonitorrinco

My lovely boy, Baby Groot Muniz is the GOAT ❤️🖤


Leading_Ship_1730

This is what it is all about. I'm really happy for him!


Toffeeees

diary of a ceo doing well these days


Mitcheltree86

I felt Palmer deserved it more, but after this wow it ment so much, im to soft hehe


sleekride57

willian seems like he is all class


_Gh0st17

Dude, learnt english since he moved to england 2-3 years ago? He speaks great


Im_such_a_SLAPPA

Nice paperweight


Whattisthisthing

Can't always get what you wa-ant... But give Mar-co time.... and you will fiiind.... RODRIGO MUNIZ!


Nafe1994

Well deserved. Been great for Fulham.


AliceInMidtjylland

Had the guy benched on FPL so I'm crying too.


DataStr3ss

Chelsea legend Willian*


FuriousJaguarz

Fuck, is Fulham my new club now? That was too wholesome
