🎙Enzo Maresca's Full Pre-LAFC Press Conference:
Enzo Maresca: "We need to see the impact of the Club World Cup. Our rivals are on holiday, we are here. It's a new competition. We will see how it affects our season."
Enzo Maresca: "We've only had ten days. Some of the players also had international duty. The feeling when we returned was a bit like pre-season. We had some new players. The main message, though, was, 'Guys, this is not pre-season. It's a big tournament'."
Enzo Maresca: "The situation about the keepers is quite simple. Robert Sanchez is number one. Filip Jorgensen is number two. And we will analyse and judge Mike Penders. Maignan is with another club."
Enzo Maresca: "The players with us were with us last season, [other than] Jadon Sancho and Wesley Fofana due to injury. It was not complicated to pick this squad."
Enzo Maresca on Cole Palmer wearing face mask on the plane: "I didn't ask him. He wasn't ill. To be honest, I don't even know if it was for a joke!"
Enzo Maresca: "Jadon [Sancho] is not with us so for sure that is a position we need to do something. We have Noni, Pedro and Ty only as the proper wingers so something for sure is going to happen..."
Enzo Maresca: "For sure, we are going to rotate players. It is impossible in this heat to always play with the same players."
Enzo Maresca: "Success is to try and win tomorrow against Los Angeles. I don't like to look too much further ahead. 2024/25, we achieved an important top-four finish and won a European trophy."
Enzo Maresca: "Liam knows how important the no.9 is for this club. I see Liam relaxed and easy, since he arrived he's working well. I know what he can give us and he knows what he needs to be a better player. As no.9, hopefully he can score goals for us."
