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.”
