Chelsea lost 2-4 to Manchester City in a friendly match, and head coach Maresca spoke about the match in a post-match press conference.
On Sterling’s position
“Sterling’s position is on the wing, he won’t be playing anywhere else. He’s a very important player in our squad.”
Gusto at left-back?
“We did this because I wanted to try some ideas, Gusto has played as an attacking midfielder on the left early in his career.”
On the style of play
“There’s no doubt Chelsea has made progress, mistakes happen in games, and that’s part of the process. I know Manchester City very well, even in friendlies, they won’t give up possession easily. But in the first half, we restricted City’s passing, I don’t remember them having more than six or seven consecutive passes.”
