One Enzo Maresca quote perfectly sums up what is happening on the pitch at Manchester City

Enzo Maresca, Manchester City's new manager, recently pointed out that the growing pains experienced by his team are expected as they adjust to his tactics and each other. Despite the clear frailties in their play, Maresca remains confident that the squad will improve with time. At the Red Bull Arena, Manchester City secured a 3-2 victory against RB Leipzig in a shootout, marking a crucial win in their bid to secure a top-eight finish in the UEFA Champions League league phase.

Maresca acknowledged that his team needs to work hard to eliminate errors from their game, noting that they have only been together for four months. The manager explained that he and his players are still getting to know each other, emphasizing the importance of more practice, understanding, and analysis. While City's press has been disjointed at times, and there are gaps in their midfield and backline, they have managed to pick up results despite these issues.

Maresca believes that as the players continue to work together and improve in their new roles, the team will overcome these weaknesses and become more cohesive, leading to better performances and eventual success.
