Maresca on performance
“I’m very happy. Very happy for one reason. In this moment, with this amount of games, the effort from the players has been unbelievable. To play two games in a row away is very difficult. Away at Ipswich and then tonight, that is three hours, three-and-a-half hours to arrive. Playing every three days. I think the club has to be happy, me as manager, I’m very happy, very proud, and the fans they have to be proud of these players that they are fighting and showing the desire to win even in this period when we’re playing every three days. It’s not easy.”
Justin's goal?
“JJ deserves it. We are trying to manage him because of the injury in the last season. So he’s not playing always. He’s the same situation as Ricardo. He was out tonight to manage his situation. JJ deserved it, Hamza deserved it, they played very good. I think all of them they play fantastic.”
11 points clear?
“Happy for sure. First of all because to finish the year with more than 60 points, nobody expected, me included, I didn’t expect that. We need to continue.”
Iheanacho?
“Kelechi has a muscle problem two days ago. We are still waiting to see if it’s something important or a matter of days. But I don’t think he will be able for the next one.
“Not yet (know if it will affect Afcon call-up). It depends on the injury. If it’s an important injury, he has no chance to go. If it’s not important, he can go.”
