According to Sheffield Wednesday coach Henrik Pedersen, the new role \u201cperfectly fits him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pedersen explained the switch to English outlet <em>The Star<\/em>:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSean had played in the No.6 position more or less all the time, but I think the right wing-back position is a much better position for him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDefensively and offensively, it is a little bit easier for him to see the picture, to see the tactical pictures. On the ball, it is a little bit easier for him not to have players 360 degrees around him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo have an open body position to look forward, it is a little bit easier when he doesn\u2019t have to jump too much between more players as a wing-back or winger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think this position fits him really well, and I have big respect for him for how he came in during the Charlton game and how he played against Middlesbrough. Against Middlesbrough, he was really, really tired after 70 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday he also played a good game, so I am really pleased for this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Fusire\u2019s positional switch could provide the Warriors with more options at right-back, a position currently short on depth, while the central midfield area remains packed with talent.<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related Posts<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Warriors #international #Sean #Fusire #role #Sheffield #Wednesday #coach #explains #shift<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warriors international Sean Fusire has been handed a new role at Sheffield Wednesday.
