Antoine Semenyo Opens Up on Pressure from Ghana Fans and Kudus Injury Blow

Antoine Semenyo has opened up about the intense expectations placed on him by Ghanaian fans whenever he’s on the pitch.

Speaking on the “In The Mixer” podcast, the Manchester City F.C. forward explained the level of scrutiny players face.

"In Ghana, the expectation is that every ball I touch has to be in the back of the net," he explained. "If it's not, you're crap. That's how they are.

"They love football over there, football is everything, so when we don't do well, it's a meltdown. There's a lot of pressure."

The forward also spoke about the absence of Mohammed Kudus, who is set to miss upcoming matches after suffering a setback in his recovery from injury. The Tottenham Hotspur star has been sidelined since December.

"It's frustrating, because he's a pivotal factor for the team for sure," Semenyo said.
