Tomorrow afternoon (3pm) at the Swansea.Com Stadium, the Swans are set to take on Leicester City. As kick-off approaches, the managers are sharing their thoughts on the eve of the game.
Michael Duff, the Swans’ manager, is determined to make his mark on the opposition, regardless of their status as potential league winners. He reflects on the support they received from their fans during a difficult run, particularly in the Sheffield Wednesday game, and hopes that they can witness what the team has been building. Duff acknowledges that Saturday’s match will be challenging, as they face a formidable side, but he emphasizes that they don’t only want to survive – they want to dominate.
There’s no reason why they can’t achieve that. Even if the Foxes emerge victorious, it will be a hard-fought battle for the three points.
In a display of solidarity, both Leicester City and the Swans have agreed to extend their sympathies for the humanitarian crisis in the Palestine area of the Middle East. The Foxes used their Twitter platform to announce their support, expressing deep sorrow for those affected by the conflict.
Manager Enzo Maresca recognizes the importance of the international break and has dedicated his attention to players who had been called up for international duty. He explains that they focused on specific training exercises for the wingers – Stephy, Abdul, and Marc. Maresca finds joy in coaching his players and improving their skills. He reveals that the international break allows them to work on fine-tuning the small details that often go overlooked during the season.
When pondering the possibility of defeat, Maresca remains optimistic, stating that even if they lose, it would still be a fantastic start for the team. However, his main focus is on tomorrow’s game and ensuring that they do the right things on the pitch. Although positive results are typically the outcome of doing things right, Maresca acknowledges that sometimes, despite their efforts, victory may elude them.
Despite the recent poor weather, the forecast for Swansea is promising. There’s only a ten percent chance of rain during the game, and temperatures could reach 14°C. Although it will be cloudy, the conditions are ideal for football, with light winds.
Stay tuned for more updates on the game in the morning as we edge closer to kick-off.
