According to Nelson Semedo, every Wolves player in the locker room likes Gary O’Neil, who is a highly liked person at Molineux.
Despite joining the team just a few days before the new season began, O’Neil has had a positive start to life at the club.
After Julen Lopetegui’s departure, Wolves interviewed a few candidates before hiring O’Neil. He seemed to have made a lasting impression with his presentation and stood out.
He has provided a credible profile of himself thus far.
After 11 Premier League games and 12 points, he has Wolves in 14th place.
That number should definitely be greater, but for some reason, Wolves have made at least three bad mistakes that have cost them points.
In spite of this, Nelson Semedo has been talking positively about O’Neil after working under him for three months, and the Wolves dressing room is upbeat.
According to Nelson Semedo, every Wolves player genuinely enjoys Gary O’Neil.
Things may have taken a serious turn for the worst following Lopetegui’s departure.
The guys’ exit from the team was somewhat clumsy, so it was understandable that they were upset. In the end, he performed admirably at Molineux.
However, O’Neil entered the game and won the players over; it appears that they truly connected with him.
“Everyone is happy because he’s a great coach and a great person,” Semedo stated (Express & Star). It was crucial for all of us that he arrived because he is well-liked by everyone in the dressing room.
Week by week, we are getting better thanks to his ideas and those of his staff. He is quite nice to have around.
Positive remarks from Semedo
It’s encouraging to hear this from Semedo, who signed for £29 million, and it’s evident that the players enjoy working under O’Neill.
Really, it should come as no surprise. Sporting director Matt Hobbs did brag about his man-management abilities when he first started.
This season, Wolves have often put on strong performances. Impressive pressing and work rate always indicate that players like the person in charge.
If Wolves had been successful this season, there would undoubtedly be an even greater atmosphere in the locker room.
The 40-year-old should be able to keep motivating the players and maintaining a strong sense of team spirit. With the rulings that are going against the club, things are definitely more difficult than they need to be right now.
