English born Ghanaian attacker Antoine Semenyo has disclosed he prefers to play as the central striker (no.9) when being deployed in attack.
Semenyo has notched six goals and seven assists in just 13 appearances.
The forward who is versatile and can play in attack from the flanks or through the middle has been used in several roles at Bristol this season but is finally beginning to get his act together playing as a striker.
Semenyo, when quizzed on his preferred role on the field, stated he loves to as the “no.9” .
“I much prefer playing in the No 9. If I need to do a job out wide then I’m happy to do that, but my main position is as a striker.” – Semenyo told Skysports.
“Playing out wide was tough, it was new to me. I did it out on loan too and it was all off the cuff. I am willing to learn that side of things as well, and I’m happy to play out there if needed, but I’d rather be through the middle.” – he continued.
“I feel like I can get more goals and assists there, and contribute more to the team. I’m versatile, I can go in behind and I can link up play when I need to. I feel like I can provide both those skills as a No 9, which is really helpful for the team. If we’re struggling in possession I know I can help.” – Semenyo added.
