"There will always be one or two times, or three times, and you will be hit by the opponent. We made some adjustments in tactical terms. In the last game against Benfica, we made some changes. Tonight's game, for different reasons, we made changes. I think the team's tactical structure also helps the players perform better and better."

You have a lot of fans in Ghana. There are rumors that Chelsea intends to introduce Kudus. As a coach, do you personally want Kudus to join Chelsea?

Maresca: "Cudus is a West Ham United player. He is not our player, so I can't say anything about it. The only thing I can say is that I know Cuudus, and I have known him since he was still at Ajax. But now he is a West Ham United player."

Can you tell us what you talked to Neto this morning?

Maresca: "Yes. We talked to Neto yesterday, this morning and this afternoon. Whether to play is entirely Neto's own decision. In fact, he has made great efforts to be able to play this game and be with his teammates. We are really grateful for what he did. I just told the players that this victory is especially dedicated to him. Because we know how eager he is to play and how much he has put in for it. So, there is no doubt that we are really grateful for the decision he made in the end."
