Maresca believes that as long as Layan Sherki is in the right position, he can play to his strengths.

Manchester City, nicknamed "The Blue Moon," will travel to Aston Villa for their next Premier League match. Maresca stated that Rajan Scherki can unleash his full potential and strengths as long as he is in the right position, but also emphasized the need for players to find a balance between attack and defense.

So far this Premier League season, Rajan Scherki has contributed 4 goals and 2 assists for Manchester City, and has also scored a goal in the Champions League.

Manchester City manager Maresca said, "Whenever Laryan Serki is in the right position, he is one of the best players in Europe. When we can find him between the opponent's defense and midfield, he always creates a threat. His goal against AEK Athens a few days ago was very similar to his goal against Liverpool."

“If we can get him in that position and pass the ball to him, he’s one of the best players. He loves to control the ball and he likes to keep moving, so he often moves out of position. Statistically, he’s outstanding in both goals and assists. As long as he’s in the right place, he’s a key member of the team.”

Maresca pointed out, "This is a characteristic he needs to maintain. He loves possession, and I won't let him give up that part in the game, but we need to find the right balance. I like to see players enjoy playing, but I also value those simple things. The hardest thing is often doing the simple things well."

“I like players to play simply and not complicate things. But sometimes players are just too good, and they just want to do something different. When Laryan Sergiy does that, I’m of course happy because I know he’s having fun. And he’s creating scoring opportunities, which is really good.”

In the last round of the Premier League, Manchester City defeated Ipswich Town 3-2 thanks to a goal from Foden and a brace from Haaland, and topped the standings with a seven-game winning streak.

Maresca continued, "We need to find the right balance between scoring goals and conceding fewer goals. We've scored a lot of goals, but I believe the team still has room for improvement. The current goal tally is indeed good, but we still need to find areas where we can do better."

"Scoring a lot of goals means the team creates a lot of chances. Most of the time, when we score four or five goals, we do create even more chances. Going forward, we must work hard to reduce the number of goals conceded."
