The new Manchester City club head coach Enzo Maresca commented on the importance of the Community Shield trophy:

"These are definitely not friendly matches.

It’s a cup, and when there’s an opportunity to fight for it, I want to win.”

The "Citizens” will meet the London Arsenal team today.

The "Gunners” are defending the title of English champions.

Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola had led the Manchester City team for nearly ten years until then.
