City cruise into the FA Cup semi-finals after a ruthless 4-0 win
Manchester City dominated Liverpool in the FA Cup quarterfinal, with Semenyo scoring once and setting up another, and Haaland completing a hat-trick as City advanced to the semi-finals.
Semenyo spoke about Sharqi in statements relayed by ESPN, calling him one of the best players in the world and saying he can literally do anything with the ball, which makes life easier for the team.
Semenyo added that Sharqi often drops back to find him or play the ball into his feet, a trait that simplifies Citys attacking play.
I remember my first day in training, Semenyo said, recalling Sharqi's skills that left him stunned. He is a top-class player, creative with the ball—we love that.
City's ambition remains undiminished — the Ghanaian forward said there is a lot of ambition for the rest of the season and a desire to win as many games as possible. Every match now feels like a final; we must keep pushing and see what happens, he concluded.
