Maresca happy with Semenyo-Marmoush partnership after Man City beat Atletico

[p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/marmoush-omar/44pYRYIC/"]Marmoush[/a] scored twice in the ‌space of three minutes early in the second ‌half before substitute [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/ait-nouri-rayan/t4db4nTt/"]Rayan Ait-Nouri[/a] added a third in stoppage ‌time, helping [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/manchester-city/Wtn9Stg0/"]City[/a] overturn a halftime deficit in ‌front of more than 50,000 fans at Seoul World Cup Stadium.[/p][p][b]"Overall, it was a very good test against one of the ‌best teams in Europe," [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/maresca-enzo/nJsvYDRG/"]Maresca[/a] said. "Credit to ⁠the players for the ‌effort they have done. From tomorrow, pre-season is finished and the ​real business starts."[/b][/p][p]City dominated possession and created the better chances but fell behind against the run ​of play when Jorge Dominguez scored from close range shortly before halftime.[/p][p]The Premier League side finally made their ⁠pressure count in ​the 57th minute as [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/semenyo-antoine/r1Gz1yPk/"]Semenyo[/a] raced down the left and crossed for Marmoush to slide home the equaliser. Two minutes later, the pair combined again, with Semenyo delivering another ‌low cross that Marmoush converted.[/p][embed guid="7d19477d-e8ce-43ee-84d8-e210770be11b" url="https://x.com/ManCity/status/2086475159213425108" social-type="twitter" /][p]Semenyo finished the Asia tour with four assists in three matches, while [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/savinho/faynRsvT/"]Savinho[/a] also impressed on the opposite flank. Ait-Nouri completed the scoring late on, but Maresca said City still needed greater efficiency in front of goal.[/p][p][b]"We need to be clinical. It's something we need to improve," he said. "Slowly we are getting there and with [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/haaland-erling/UmV9iQmE/"]Erling[/a] (Haaland) we can be even ‌more dangerous. Today Omar scored twice. This is a ​boost."[/b][/p][p]Maresca also said he was encouraged by the progress ‌made during his first three matches in charge after succeeding Pep Guardiola, with City ending their Asia tour with a draw against [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/inter/Iw7eKK25/"]Inter Milan[/a], before a penalty-shootout defeat, and victories over a K League ⁠All-Stars side and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/atl-madrid/jaarqpLQ/"]Atletico[/a].[/p][p]They ⁠face [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/arsenal/hA1Zm19f/"]Arsenal[/a] in the ‌Community Shield on August 16th.[/p]
