Enzo Maresca press conference after Man City vs AEK Athens in the Champions League. Maresca says he has considered Phil Foden one of the best English players since day one. He admits Foden was not good enough over the last two or three years, but says he was happy with him even before the red card and is sure he will help City this season. He also talks about Foden’s first-time finish into the top corner and his late spell as a false nine.
Maresca praises the academy players who got minutes, including Floyd, who started up front and won the free kick for the first goal. He confirms Erling Haaland is okay to start on Saturday after resting on the bench. On Rayan Cherki, he said football is a team sport, not about one player.
