Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has no easy task following Pep Guardiola's impressive 10-year act.
For many, his appointment suggests a continuation in tactical approach. But Maresca, despite clearly being inspired by his former mentor, has his own style and it is one we have started to see emerge across pre-season.
To understand Maresca's City we need to provide some context about Guardiola's.
Guardiola, by some, is mistakenly thought to be strictly married to a singular approach. But, while he had principles he stuck to throughout his career, he did not stick to one system.
These principles included keeping as much of the ball as possible, as far away from his team's goal and as close to the opponent's goal. His game was also founded on the basis of positional play.
