On the eve of the upcoming crucial away match against Crystal Palace, Chelsea manager Maresca made a public appearance to face the media and gave an in-depth analysis of the team's recent situation, individual players' performance and the strength of the opponent.
Confidently commenting on the team's newest star, Josh ACHAMPONG, Maresca said, "Josh ACHAMPONG is fully ready to make his debut. His energy and fighting spirit is something we've seen since we started working together. Although he is still young and needs to be more focused at times, I am confident that he is up to the challenge."
Talking about the team's recent match results, Maresca was blunt: "Losing is something none of us would like to experience, and this is a common sentiment among our coaches and players. Therefore, we always aim for victory, but we know that victory is not within our reach, and we must do well in every aspect in order to gradually approach our goal."
Speaking about the opponent Crystal Palace, Maresca expressed his alertness: "Crystal Palace is in excellent form under the new coach, and their recent performance is especially eye-catching. This is a team that should not be underestimated in terms of physical confrontation, and their fast counter-attacks are extremely threatening. Therefore, in the match, we must maintain high vigilance, both solid defense and actively look for attacking opportunities, and strive to win valuable points in this game."
