Semenyo Says Maresca’s Manchester City Style Is Similar to Guardiola’s — 1 of 3
1 / 3

Antoine Semenyo says he is excited by Enzo Maresca’s attacking approach at Manchester City, describing the manager’s ideas as similar to Pep Guardiola’s. The Ghana international said Maresca wants his wide players to stay high, play freely and create chances when they receive the ball. Semenyo added that he has held individual tactical discussions with the new coach. He also reflected on his move from Bournemouth and praised his former club for helping his Premier League career develop. Semenyo reportedly scored 21 goals for club and country last season, including the winner in the FA Cup final against Chelsea.

If Maresca gives wide players that much freedom, which part of Guardiola's approach do you think will show up most clearly?

I agree, the clearest link could be how the team creates space and keeps control through movement.

Semenyo sounds energised by a system that asks wingers to stay high, take initiative and create once they get the ball.

The comparison is understandable, but similar attacking ideas do not automatically mean the two managers will produce the same football.

For the wide players, the key will be timing: stay high, receive in space, then make the final pass or direct run count.
