Enzo Maresca outlines tactics and Rodri's return at Manchester City

Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has outlined his tactical vision and squad management approach following his arrival at the club. Maresca emphasized a meritocratic environment, stating that every player starts from the same baseline and must earn their position through the upcoming summer training sessions, which will also influence the transfer window.

In addition to tactical shifts regarding ball movement and positioning, Maresca addressed the status of midfielder Rodri. Amid ongoing transfer speculation involving Barcelona, Maresca confirmed that there are currently no changes to Rodri's status and that the player is expected to return to training on August 14 following his recovery from a back injury.

Despite reported interest from major European clubs, Manchester City leadership remains committed to retaining the player. The club is currently focused on medical rehabilitation and preparations for the upcoming season, including the Super Cup against Arsenal and the Premier League opener against Bournemouth.
