Enzo Maresca spoke about Enzo Fernández, highlighting the Argentine player's tactical evolution. According to the Italian coach, Fernández has started playing more as an attacking midfielder, abandoning the central midfielder position he previously occupied. This change represents an adaptation in the 23-year-old's playing style.

The Argentine arrived at Manchester City at the end of the transfer market, in a move that surprised many experts. The transfer to the Citizens marks a new phase in Fernández's career, as he was seeking more minutes and opportunities for development.

Maresca and Fernández are working together again, as they have a previous connection. The Italian coach knew the player's qualities well during the time they spent together, which explains the reunion in Manchester. This prior connection is believed to have been decisive for the transfer.
