It turned out that their wingers are a clear weapon for Manchester City after the three friendlies in their preseason tour in Asia. Under new coach Enzo Maresca, Antoine Semenyo, Savinho and Ryan McAidoo all impressed, as City's tour ended with a 3-1 win over Atletico Madrid at the Seoul World Cup Stadium. The game started to get complicated when Atletico took the lead in the 43rd minute through a scrappy goal from Jorge Domínguez from a recycled corner. But City recovered in the second period: Omar Marmoush scored twice in two minutes (57' and 59'), both from good plays down the left flank initiated by Antoine Semenyo. Rayan Ait-Nouri then cooled off the match with a cool finish to make it 3-1. The picture is bigger than just a game. Throughout the tour, it was obvious how Maresca was reorganizing the team to strengthen the role of the wide men. According to the report, Semenyo recorded four assists while playing on both flanks; Savinho, on the other hand, has shown that he can also play on the right if he does not leave this summer; and Ryan McAidoo scored high when playing on the right in the first friendly against Inter Milan. Rayan Ait-Nouri, on the other hand, has scored two goals while playing on the left flank throughout the games, a sign that he is also effectively used out wide.

Maresca's system enabled the wingers by inverting the full-backs into midfield or forming a back three when City had possession. This tactical tweak provides ample space in width for wide players to move and launch one-on-one situations. After the win in Seoul, Maresca expressed his satisfaction with the performance of the wingers throughout the tour. According to him, the game was "a very good test against one of the best teams in Europe" and praised the effort of the players. He also emphasized that while creating chances is good, the "end product" or being destructive inside the penalty area is important: he said that in the first half "we created four or five chances but we didn't score — the big difference was inside the box." He added that there is a real need for a wide player who can create imbalance especially in one-v-one situations. Jeremy Doku and Rayan Cherki haven't been given a chance in Maresca's system yet, but based on the way the team is setup to create one-on-one opportunities, they could have a bigger role if given minutes. On the other hand, opponents will also be expected to study City's assumptions in width and find a way to neutralize it — for example, doubling wide men — which in turn could open up space in the middle for City to attack. All in all, it was clear that width was Manchester City's most striking feature in the three friendlies in Asia. If the execution of this is the same throughout the season, there is great potential for City's wingers to be their main weapon in the upcoming campaign.

What's next

As the new Premier League season approaches, Maresca is expected to continue to evolve his strategy to further boost the contribution of the wingers. Players like Semenyo, Savinho, and McAidoo can be key parts of their lineup, bringing more threats to the offense. Their preseason performance bodes well for Manchester City's season outlook.
