"Sometimes we get confused when we need to play a short or medium pass. This is part of the process. In 5 minutes after the start of the game, we already had 2-3 chances. Until the third goal we conceded, the team was very good and created chances. It is important to realize the difference between us and them in terms of physical condition. They have already played 3-4 matches, they will start the season soon. Game by game, training by training, we will be ready.

Raheem Sterling has been working well from day one. We are just trying something different. The other day with Tyreke George, today with Misha Mudryk. This is to see certain things. That's not the reason why Raheem doesn't start in the starting lineup," Maresca said.
