In the pre-match press conference, the manager emphasised that they needed to win more matches, no matter what. Additionally, he added, the team needs to be confident in scoring more goals nd focus on conceding fewer goals.

In the pre-match conference, Enzo Maresca shared, "It’s become very important to finish the year in the ​best way. For sure, it will ⁠be another tough game, because they are all the same. But we need to win games ​as soon as ⁠possible. We need to be confident, and ‍we need to think that hopefully we can go close again to the ones ahead of us."

He further added, “I don’t think it’s random when something continuously happens. We need ​to understand why, no matter if we’re ⁠winning, drawing, or losing, if we concede a goal, we lose the control a little bit. So we need to understand the reason why.”
