Maresca might have said these things to deflect some of his team’s pressure ahead of today’s game at Swansea.com Stadium.
Even if Leicester City loses at Swansea City this afternoon, manager Enzo Maresca thinks his team has still had a great start to the campaign, as he told Leicestershire Live.
The Foxes have been outstanding so far this season, winning 10 of their first 11 league games, which is an incredible accomplishment. The Midlands team has been excellent in several of these games, even if they have had to come from behind to win. They have already defeated a previously relegated team 4-1 on the road in Southampton. Having only suffered two losses in all competitions this season, they were probably unlucky not to take home a point or three from their matchup with Hull City.
The Foxes should have scored as well, especially with the addition of players like Cesare Casadei and Abdul Fatawu, but the Tigers did a good job of taking advantage of Leicester’s weakness in transition and should have added one or two more goals. And even though they managed to take the lead at Anfield, they lost their second game of the season in the Carabao Cup against Liverpool. That’s a significant accomplishment in and of itself, and they may be able to walk away from the competition with pride.
There were a number of changes made during the summer transfer window, even though their strong start to the season isn’t shocking given the caliber of their squad—Stephy Mavididi, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and others are perhaps too good to play in the Championship.
They had to adjust to a new manager, Maresca, who came in and imposed his style, in addition to losing players like James Maddison, Harvey Barnes, and Timothy Castagne. It was always going to take some getting acclimated to his approach, but Leicester’s team has done a great job of adjusting.
What was said by Enzo Maresca about Swansea City and Leicester City prior to the match?
With 30 points from a possible 33, six goals conceded in 11 league games, and an average of more than two goals scored in the second tier, the Foxes are currently in excellent form and will continue to lead the division despite yesterday’s postponement of Ipswich Town’s match against Rotherham United. Furthermore, Maresca thinks his team has had an excellent start to the 2023–24 campaign, even if they lose at Swansea today.

“I think it’s a fantastic start, even if we lose,” he stated. “We are concentrating on the game tomorrow. We are particularly concentrated on the tasks at hand. It’s an outcome .Nine times out of ten, or eight times out of ten, if we do the correct things, we will achieve the desired results. Even when you follow all the necessary steps, you may not always succeed. All we can focus about is the game tomorrow.”
Could Leicester City lose against Swansea tomorrow?
Despite their subpar start to the season, the Swans have won four straight league games heading into this matchup, which is a fantastic accomplishment.
You get the impression that the Swans have the fortitude necessary to grind out a point or two from this game after displaying such incredible grit in the face of such a poor start to 2023–24.
The Swans will gain from Michael Duff’s team’s home advantage as well, even if the Foxes have excelled away from home this season.
Even taking into account the Swans’ recent performance, you have to admit that the visitors are the favorites in this division since anything can happen. However, a Swansea victory cannot be completely ruled out. The visiting team possesses the necessary quality to return to the Midlands with three more points.
