Enjoying the training process: Semenio: Maresca has high standards for every detail.

Manchester City, nicknamed "The Blue Moon," will travel to Hong Kong's Kai Tak Sports Park to challenge Serie A giants Inter Milan in a friendly match. Semenio, in an interview, stated that he thoroughly enjoys training with his teammates and praised manager Maresca for his high standards in every detail.

The 46-year-old Maresca previously managed Chelsea, leading the Blues to win the European Championship and the FIFA Club World Cup. After Pep Guardiola, who had led Manchester City to many successes, left, Maresca became the new manager of the "Citizens" at the end of June, signing a three-year contract.

Manchester City winger Semenho said, "Our training is fantastic and very detail-oriented. Manager Maresca has high standards for every detail and wants everything to be done perfectly, which is very similar to Guardiola. This is good for us players, and everyone is currently enjoying this kind of training."

"This is a club with global influence and countless fans. Seeing so many fans welcoming us on the way from the airport to the hotel is enough to show the tremendous support the fans here give to the team, and we are very much looking forward to playing in front of them."

In addition to a friendly match against Inter Milan, Manchester City will also face the K League All-Stars and Atletico Madrid from La Liga.

Semenio stated, "Matches like this help the team better prepare for the new season. There are many strong teams in both the Premier League and the Champions League, and Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid are prime examples. Therefore, playing against them at this stage is a very good test for us."

In addition, Semenho contributed 7 goals for Manchester City in the 2025/26 Premier League season.

When asked about his current condition, Semenio said, "I feel very good physically, and I think I've had plenty of rest. The manager gave me a few weeks to relax and adjust, so I'm really happy to be back with my teammates now, and I'm really looking forward to the start of the new season."
