Maresca emphasized the importance of the team's professionalism and adaptability in different situations. He highlighted the players' behavior, attitude, and desire to win, which were all evident in their performance.

He noted that the team's strong defensive record in the Premier League and Conference League season continued in this match. Maresca expressed his desire for the team to maintain this attitude going forward.

Regarding the team's attacking options, Maresca was pleased with the performance of Nico Jackson and new signing Liam Delap. He believes that having multiple players who can score and assist goals is beneficial, rather than relying on a single striker.

Maresca also mentioned that the team had experimented with different attacking formations in the past, including when they were without key players. However, having two talented strikers like Nico and Liam provides a nice feeling for the head coach, as it gives him the flexibility to choose between them.
