A Hard-Fought Point: Nelson Semedo’s Reflection
Wolves’ right-back Nelson Semedo took a moment to reflect on his team’s recent performance, which secured them a hard-fought point. "Well, a point is a point, right?" he began, acknowledging the value of the result. "Obviously, we were aiming for the three points and we tried to maintain a winning mentality to secure the game. However, sometimes in football, you have to take what you can get."
Chasing the Game
Semedo admitted that Wolves had to chase the game in the first half, which posed a significant challenge. "In the first half, we found ourselves on the back foot a bit," he explained. "But in the second half, we did a much better job. The team showed great resilience and determination, which is a positive takeaway. Unfortunately, despite our efforts, we couldn’t find the back of the net. It’s a bit frustrating, but we have to stay focused and keep pushing."
The Role of Pablo Sarabia
A key highlight of the game was the introduction of Pablo Sarabia, who brought a much-needed boost to the team’s offensive play. "When Pablo came in, it gave us a significant lift," Semedo noted. "He is a player who can change the game with his skill and creativity. We created several chances, but sometimes you need a bit of luck, and it just didn’t go our way today. We worked hard and tried our best, but the ball wouldn’t find its way into the net."
Celebrating Marshall Munetsi’s Goal
One of the standout moments of the game was Marshall Munetsi’s goal, which Semedo was quick to praise. "Marshall’s goal is very important for us as a team and for him personally," he stated. "It’s a confidence booster, and we are all happy for him. It’s great to see players stepping up and contributing in such crucial moments. We hope he continues to score and helps us in our journey."
Believing in Survival
Despite the challenges, Semedo remains optimistic about Wolves’ chances of staying in the Premier League. "Of course, we believe a lot that Wolves will stay up," he affirmed. "We are now six points clear of 18th-placed Ipswich, which is a good position to be in, but there’s still a long way to go. We have 10 games left to play, and we will give everything to ensure Wolves remain in the Premier League. It’s a tough road ahead, but we are determined to do our best."
Commitment and Resilience
Semedo emphasized the team’s commitment and resilience as they face the remainder of the season. "We have to show this belief on the pitch," he said. "Every game is crucial, and we will go into each one with the same fighting spirit. We will keep coming to the pitch and give 200%. The fans have been incredible, and their support means a lot to us. We will do everything we can to repay their faith in us. There’s a long way to go, but we are ready for the challenge."
