Manchester City’s new manager Enzo Maresca speaks positively about winger Ryan McAidoo following City’s penalty-shootout defeat to Inter Milan. Despite the loss in the shootout, McAidoo gets a chance to impress in the match, coming on as a substitute and showing what he can do, according to reports from the two outlets. BBC News and Yahoo Sports both cite Maresca’s view of the teenager, describing him as the type of player the head coach wants. Maresca says McAidoo has impressed him since he joined the club, dating the praise back to the time the player arrived, not just the most recent appearance. The comments are framed as part of City’s early period under Maresca, with the penalty shootout loss to Inter acting as the backdrop. Taken together, the reports present McAidoo’s match cameo and Maresca’s early assessment as the key elements, with no additional claims beyond City’s shootout defeat and Maresca’s stated enthusiasm for McAidoo’s winger qualities.
