On the 13th (Korea time), Wolverhampton said on the club's website that `Gary O'Neill and Lemina had a conversation, and Semedo agreed to permanently wear the captain's armband from the game against Ipswich Town.'
At the press conference, O'Neill said "The discussion with Mario was good, and we're doing very well. He has played a huge role among us and has a lot of respect for each other"I think Lemina has a lot to do for us in the future."
Then "I respect him and Mario's level in the stadium is very high. I think he will still play a big part for us"He's still in the senior group leading the team, but I think it's best for Nelson to lead the group at the moment."," he added.

Earlier, Lemina had a scuffle with opposing team captain Jared Bowen after losing 1-2 to West Ham in the 15th round of the English Premier League (EPL) at London Stadium in London on the 10th.
Lemina refused to shake Bowen's hand after the game, and Lemina pushed Bowen as he argued. After seeing this, teammates stopped Lemina, but a few minutes of scuffles continued. Even after the commotion ended, Lemina showed uncharacteristic behavior, such as pushing Marley's teammate and arguing with the coaches.
Bowen was just trying to shake hands after the game, but he didn't want to"He insisted that he did nothing to provoke Lemina."

Wolverhampton is currently down to the relegation zone with two wins, three draws and 10 losses and nine points. He has been mired in a three-game losing streak, having recently lost games against Bournemouth, Everton and West Ham.
For this reason, attention is being paid to whether Wolverhampton can try to turn around under the Semedo captain system.
In particular, it is time to see if Hwang Hee-chan, who is struggling this season, can face a change. Restoring confidence is more important than anything else as he still has not recorded his first offensive point of the season.
Hwang Hee-chan, who rested in the last game, is highly likely to play in this game if he is in O'Neill's plan.
Securing opportunities to play while showing good performance in league games and attracting attention from many clubs is expected to be important for Hwang Hee-chan's future direction.

European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said on social network service (SNS) on the 12th that several clubs are interested in Hwang Hee-chan.
Romano said "Wolverhampton refused 25 million euros (about 37.7 billion won) last summer and kept Hwang Hee-chan at the club. Hwang Hee-chan is on the list of several clubs until 2025"As Wolverhampton is in a complicated situation under O'Neill this season, interest in Hwang Hee-chan remains active"
The club that offered Hwang Hee-chan 25 million euros last summer was Marseille.
On the same day, French Le10 Sports also sought to recruit Hwang Hee-chan last summer, but failed. But the challenge is not over yet"It appears that Hwang Hee-chan's files are still stacked on the Mehdi Benatia desk," he reported.
