## Resource

On a very special pod special, Rog sits down with Manchester City's Antoine Semenyo to breakdown the attacker's wild ride from Bristol City F.C. all the way to Manchester City. Antoine details what exactly it is like playing under the manic genius that is Pep Guardiola, and what surprising advice the manager gave him that improved his game. Plus, Antoine explains what makes Rayan Cherki such an incredible player, and deep dives into City's mentality as they try to chase down league leading Arsenal.
