Manchester City's Maresca Ensures Player Focus Amid Charges

Enzo Maresca, the head coach of Manchester City, affirmed that his players are maintaining their focus on football despite the controversy stemming from the Premier League's verdict on the club's 115 charges. The Premier League's findings indicated that Manchester City had used "sham" contracts to conceal over £830m in secret funding.

Following the announcement, which occurred while many players were on international duty, the squad returned to training. Maresca emphasized the importance of not letting external issues affect the team's attitude as they prepare for their upcoming match against Liverpool.

He expressed confidence in the squad's mood, stating they are excited and focused on their performance. Striker Erling Haaland echoed this sentiment, urging unity among players, staff, and supporters, and emphasizing the need to stay positive.

Manchester City is appealing the findings and continues to assert its innocence.
