A crackling chuckle can be heard echoing under Enzo Maresca’s breath. “You want to know if we are going to play in the same way, yeah?” he asks, launching into a broad grin before the question is even finished.
The question is, of course, whether his Leicester City side will attempt to mirror Manchester City’s methods in the second tier as they target an immediate Premier League return, given Maresca accepted the Leicester manager job within days of winning the treble alongside Pep Guardiola. “It is that idea. But it is not [about it happening] tomorrow, it is a process. The idea is to try to play in one way, the way we want, but it will require time. Hopefully we can achieve it as soon as possible.”
