Chelsea lost 2-4 to Manchester City in a friendly match. Head coach Maresca discussed the game during the post-match press conference.
About Sterling’s Position
“Sterling’s position is as a winger, he won’t play anywhere else. He is a very important member of our squad.”
Gustos at Left Back?
“This arrangement was to test some ideas. Gusto played on the left as an attacking midfielder earlier in his career.”
About the Playing Style
“There’s no doubt that Chelsea has improved. Mistakes happen during games and are part of the process of improvement. I know Manchester City well; they don’t give up possession easily even in friendlies. However, in the first half, we limited their passing. I don’t recall them stringing together more than six or seven passes in succession.”
