Maresca also highlighted the challenges that young players like Willian and Lamine Yamal face when being compared to top stars like Messi and Ronaldo. He believes that it's essential for them to arrive at the training ground happy and not feel overwhelmed by such comparisons.

Regarding Willian's playing time, Maresca clarified that he chooses players based on the game plan from match to match. He explained that if Willian doesn't play, Pedro Neto takes his position, and they are happy with Pedro's performance.

Maresca stated that the team's game plan is the primary factor in deciding the starting lineup, and it's not about giving or withholding playing time to individual players. He emphasized that the game plan is what makes the team unpredictable and adaptable.

Maresca expressed confidence in Willian's abilities, saying that he will play many games because he's very good. The team is now looking forward to their next match against Arsenal.
