New Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca says he is "very happy" with his opening three pre-season friendlies in charge as his players are "open-minded" to his style of play.
City rounded off their Asian tour with a 3-1 victory over Atletico Madrid in South Korea on Sunday.
Maresca's side trailed 1-0 at half-time but a double from Omar Marmoush, both assisted by the impressive Antoine Semenyo, and a late Rayan Ait-Nouri strike secured the comeback win.
"Overall, a very good test against one of the best teams in Europe," Maresca said post-match.
"Credit to the players for the effort they have done. From tomorrow pre-season is finished and the real business starts.
"I'm very happy. Especially because the players since we started have been open-minded.
"They want to understand and want to learn why we do things.
"I know that when you join a new club you try to install new patterns or different ideas, the most important thing is we are getting better.
"But the path is a huge path to improve things. But I can see we are trying what we do in training, and we are getting better at that."
