What happened. Enzo Maresca has already stamped his mark on Manchester City with new training methods, new leaders, and new build-up play, while maintaining sky-high expectations similar to Pep Guardiola.

• Players question what is reasonable after six Premier League titles in 10 years.
• Maresca's training sessions in heat focus on verve in the final third.
• Squad is ready for competitive action after pre-season win over Atletico Madrid.

“It's not the change (itself) that worried me... The club deserves us to try.”

— Matheus Nunes

City begin their new era with the Community Shield on Sunday, testing Maresca's methods against Arsenal.
