🎙Enzo Maresca's Full Pre-Aston Villa Press Conference:
🔹Enzo Maresca: "We don't have any update on the injuries. We don't have any additional injuries. Noni will be out until international break probably. We can have most of the players back [then], maybe all of them and for us it can be a big boost..."
🔹Enzo Maresca on Aston Villa: "The team is very good. They know clearly how they want to play. The manager is probably one of the best."
🔹Enzo Maresca: "We now have 13 games to go. The target is to finish in the top four, to finish in the best way. Knowing the difficult moments we have now is probably one of the most important reasons why is because of the injury situation. Significant players are out."
🔹Enzo Maresca: "I am ambitious. The club is ambitious. Nothing has changed [from two months ago when we were winning - manager, players, owners, sporting directors], other than, unfortunately, we are dealing with many injuries and that has affected the level of the team."
🔹Enzo Maresca on Robert Sanchez's new haircut: "I said to him 'if you want play again, you have to have the same hair as mine!' [laughs]."
🔹Enzo Maresca: "It's an important part [physicality]. Reviewing the first game we played against [Aston Villa], we played with more physical players - like Wes, Romeo, Nico. It's the reason why, in this moment, we struggle a little bit in terms of results."
🔹Enzo Maresca on Tyrique George: "He's a young one. But with the amount of injuries, we must use the ones we have. He's doing well. In some moments we don't have different options, so we need to give him chances. Hopefully he can help us."
🔹Enzo Maresca: "The team spirit in this moment has to be upset. We are upset because we are not happy with the results in this moment, We are all aware where we are in a club... we are not here to survive, we are here to win titles and fight for that..."
🔹Enzo Maresca: "The only thing I can say that... every time the fans have been behind us, we really appreciate. We are sure with the fans behind us we can achieve our target. I think winning our seven at home can be enough to finish in the top four."
🔹Enzo Maresca on Malo Gusto: "I am very happy with Malo. He's doing well with us. In this moment to judge players, we judge them consequently of the results. Malo helps us a lot when we were in a good run. He's an important player..."
🔹Enzo Maresca on whether there is any update on Mykhailo Mudryk situation: "No, I don't think so."
