In Premier League Matchday 5, Manchester City defeated Sunderland 5-3 at home, securing their fifth consecutive victory in the new league season. Following the match, Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca spoke to beIN Sports, discussing his team's performance, the goals conceded, and his observations and adjustments since taking charge.

Enzo, that was a thrilling match to watch. As head coach, how did you feel from the sidelines?

It wasn't the best feeling. But overall, I think it was an entertaining match from many angles.

First, we won. We found a way to secure victory in the match, and that's very important. Second, we faced a very difficult opponent. I said in the press conference that I expected this to be a very challenging match. Their attack is formidable, and they have multiple attacking options; defensively, they're also very aggressive and determined. So it wasn't an easy match, but we still found a way to win.

What kind of manager are you? After your team scores five goals, do you praise the players more, or do you worry more about conceding three?

Honestly, I'd rather win 1-0 than 5-3. However, there's another team on the pitch, and they want to win too and will try to use every means available to them. So sometimes conceding goals is inevitable.

But I think two of the three goals we conceded were too easy to prevent, and those situations were avoidable. However, the positive thing is that we can learn and improve from the experience while winning, and that's very important.

I think everyone enjoys watching matches like 5-3. But you've now won six consecutive matches. Since the season officially started, you've won every competitive match you've played, regardless of competition. How do you assess your start as Manchester City manager? Do you think the team has established a strong foundation now?

No, I think we're still learning, and that's very important. So far, each of the seven competitive matches we've played has been different.

The positive thing is that we can also learn from these matches. Ultimately, what matters is to continue learning and improving, and that's very important.

Are you still getting to know these players?

Yes, of course, 100%. Not only through matches, but also through daily training.

When do you think we'll see Manchester City at their best? How long does it take for a new head coach to truly make his mark on a team?

That's a complex question, and it's difficult to say exactly how long it will take. The positive thing is that during matches, I can see some things we're doing well, as well as areas where we can improve.

What's your schedule like over the next three weeks? Will you get some rest, or will your workload remain intense even during the international break?

In any case, the next period will be slightly easier because there are no training sessions. However, we also need to recover and then return to work.
