    Semenyo thriving under Maresca's system and attacking freedom

    Semenyo expressed satisfaction with Enzo Maresca's tactical approach, which allows wingers like him to operate high and wide with one-on-one opportunities. He praised the confidence Maresca has shown in him and highlighted the team's attacking variety and collective improvement under the new manager.

    “I think for wide players, we're high and wide, and we get a lot of one-versus-one situations, and he backs us to win our duels. But even if you lose them, then just keep going.”
