00:00Can I ask you about Semenyo?
00:01He's obviously made a really strong start to his career here.
00:05You've played him in a number of different positions already.
00:08When you were talking about signing him with the club,
00:12how important was his versatility in different positions?
00:18Yeah, it's not just, of course, score a lot of goals and the strikers,
00:22the people who play at front are so important, but not just that.
00:25So make a special rhythm, the versatility, as you said,
00:27he played in many positions at front of us, three positions,
00:31so we knew it.
00:33In Bournemouth, they are exceptional in the rhythm and defensively,
00:38so he has his DNA.
00:40The impact has been really good.
00:43Are you able to shine a bit of light on when it became obvious to you
00:49that he was an elite footballer?
00:52Was there a moment when he was at Bournemouth that you thought,
00:54yeah, this is someone who can reach the very top?
00:58Listen, Antoine, we played against him many, many times since the last years.
01:03When he became a top-class in the elite, you have to see.
01:06So I don't know when you buy a player from the club and come here,
01:09how he adapt and play in the Champions League and never played before,
01:12in the biggest stages in the Premier League, yes,
01:14but not quite stages in that position.
01:16It's a good test for him, how he will react.
01:19But I'm pretty sure for this mentality, I think he will handle quite well.
01:23How has he settled in with the group and the coaches in the first few weeks?
01:29Normally, the guys who came adapt really quick,
01:32because the guys are here for a long time, embrace the people so quick.
01:35No problem.
01:36So I'll do all you know, he's done a job.
01:36For a long time, I'm so capable of reaching out here on歸代.
01:36Okay?
