New Man City coach Maresca appreciates players' effort in his 1st win

Manchester City's new head coach Enzo Maresca expressed gratitude to his players for their hard work during their preseason victory over a team of South Korean league All-Stars. The 3-1 win at Seoul World Cup Stadium, played in front of 28,000 fans, marked Maresca's first triumph since taking over from Pep Guardiola in June. Despite the sweltering conditions, three different players scored for City, showcasing their dedication.

Maresca emphasized that the team's effort, especially considering the hot weather, was crucial, as well as the improvement seen since their first game against Inter Milan in Hong Kong. He highlighted that the players were demonstrating the daily progress they had been working towards. Chung Jung-yong, City's Korean counterpart, appreciated the opportunity to coach against the talented Manchester City squad, even though the team was missing key players after the recent FIFA World Cup.

He noted that the match was special, as they managed to score against the formidable opponents, and the team would benefit from the experience moving forward.
