Enzo Maresca was asked in the press conference yesterday about what he thought his team’s best showing of the season had been, and in typical manager style he chose a defeat.
The opening day game against Man City was a funny game in that we were almost resigned to losing it (given the circumstances of our new-look team taking on the most successful and established side in he country), yet we did give them a decent go, and it did correctly point to good results to follow.
“I consider the City game our best game this season for many reasons. First of all, because I know City very well and secondly because I think we played a good game and we did not concede many chances against a team that score and have many chances,” Maresca explained.
“We had many chances to score before they scored and after they scored. Unfortunately, we did not score. But I consider that game probably our best game. Game after game we are improving different things for sure, but that game was a good game.”
