http://www1.skysports.com/football/...nderland-and-flourishing-under-Paolo-Di-Canio Stephane Sessegnon has insisted he is enjoying life under new Sunderland manager Paolo Di Canio and has given no thought to leaving. Sessegnon made the move to the Stadium of Light in 2011 but there were initially difficulties for his family settling in England and there were suggestions he may have to move on. However, there are no longer any problems off the pitch and he is happy to stay at Sunderland, where is thriving under Di Canio. "The issue with my family is settled now," Sessegnon said in the Northern Echo. "Two years ago when I arrived, sometimes my family wasn't here, but now it is fine. "They live here now and the problem is completely finished. Even then (last summer) though, I never gave it (leaving) a thought. I didn't think about it and I didn't think about what was being said about me." Sessegnon has produced a couple of eye-catching performances since Di Canio took charge off the Black Cats, scoring goals against Newcastle United and Everton. "He has told me I can score more, more than I was scoring before," said the Benin international. "He has told me I have the quality to do that. He told me I need to score more goals, and since then I have scored two in two games. "I like this kind of management and it shows. In one month we have had three games, and I have scored two goals. It is good at the moment. After that, we don't know, but at the moment we like this coach." "It is not difficult. Di Canio is not magic. I just know football. The players are intelligent and they can see the benefits of working hard." Paolo Di Canio Di Canio, meanwhile, feels his own arrival as manager has been a key factor in Sessegnon's improvement and has urged the 28-year-old to keep working hard. "Stephane is a talent, a great player," said the Italian. "If Stephane works as he's done in the last two games he's a dangerous opponent but I can tell you, from the games I watched on television prior to signing my contract here, Stephane did not give his best. "For me, your best is when you are playing with your brain and Stephane is now playing with his brain. But when I watched the Manchester United game on television Stephane only played when he had the ball or was in a position to ask for it. "There are times when I will allow him freedom because he is a fantasy player, like I was, and if you give them too much advice it can put them under pressure. I hope my advice can help him as it has done in the last two games. "It is not difficult. Di Canio is not magic. I just know football. The players are intelligent and they can see the benefits of working hard." We know from Swindon that PDC won't take kindly to our best players being sold and he'll hold Sess to his comments if he did ask for a move. This is very good news and I expect him here next year.
Altogether now: "God took Messi and Pele Mixed the two to make one And he came upm with.... Stephane Sessegnon"
We all know sessegnon is a fantastic player, PDC will get the best yet out of sess and im sure he loves having PDC as a manager, especially since they both play in the same postion.
The sessegnon of the last 3 games would grace the champions league but the sessegnon for most of the rest of the campaign wouldn't make the northern premier league. The key to our success or failure is getting more of the former and far less of the latter. On his day he is our talisman; our version of messi for sure; but if he ain't on his game, he is simply a waste of a shirt. PDC seems to understand this totally and in the coming 2 years or more, we should see a player in the peak of his career, turning it on for us with the support of manager and fans alike.
