Maresca tells Man City players to stay focused after verdict
He addressed the squad as they returned to training on Thursday after the Premier League charges verdict, urging focus and a positive outlook as preparations resumed.
Enzo Maresca urged Manchester City’s players to maintain focus and positivity in a squad address on Thursday. According to Sami Mokbel, the message came as the team returned to training after the verdict on the Premier League charges.
The report adds that Maresca’s intervention was aimed at steadying the group and keeping attention on the work ahead as the squad reconvened at the training ground.
No quotes or further details of the internal meeting were disclosed, and there is no suggestion of any change to the club’s stance or to the formal process surrounding the charges.
The timing suggests an effort to set the tone quickly inside the dressing room as football activities resume, with an emphasis on maintaining standards on the pitch while off-field matters continue in the background.
Such messages are common when teams regroup after major developments away from the pitch, and delivering it at the first session back underlines a desire to keep the focus narrow as training work ramps up.
