If he does, he has to get the ball.
And the weird thing, he took his hands away.
I think he obviously thought he was outside the box.

I don't think he's underrated here.
particularly, but I get his point.
He's not a kind of household name.
You know, he's along the lines of Mbappe or Vinicius Junior, etc.
Yeah, Semenya, even though he plays up with him most of the time, I mean, obviously he's switched it a bit in the second half, but when he's playing up there with him, he also gets a lot of the ball, Semenya.

You know, you're talking about elsewhere on the pitch as well with Haaland.
Semenyo, I've not really seen him playing up front much.
Prior to this, he used to play wide left mostly, didn't he, for Bournemouth?
