  "account": "Enzo Maresca has stated that Manchester City \"are going to do something for sure\" ahead of the transfer window closing, following their Community Shield defeat to Arsenal. The Cityzens suffered a 3-0 loss in Maresca's first game as manager, with an early goal setting the tone for a disastrous afternoon at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. City were without Rodri, who is the subject of ongoing transfer speculation, as well as £116 million record signing Elliot Anderson, who struggled to make an impact. Maresca insisted that City would not be reactive to the Arsenal loss, but emphasized that signings would be imminent before the September transfer deadline. He stated that they were already aware of the changes needed, regardless of the game's outcome. When asked about playing without Rodri, Maresca said that the World Cup winner and Ballon d'Or winner is a player all teams need, so the focus should be on the players who performed well, such as Elliot Anderson, Mateo Kovacic, and how they can improve moving forward.",
