– Enzo Maresca has previewed Leicester City’s clash with Bristol City
– The Robins, managed by Nigel Pearson, visit King Power Stadium on Saturday
– Maresca expects another big challenge for his in-form Foxes
– He also explained his gratitude for the Club’s fans, who are embracing his playing style
On Saturday, the Foxes will look to surpass the Robins by three points to retake the top spot in the Sky Bet Championship. The team led by Maresca is now second in the standings after winning six of their first seven league games.
Nigel Pearson will make his first competitive comeback since leaving the Club in 2015, having twice led City to victories in the third and second tiers. Naturally, Maresca anticipates that his growing side will face a difficult test.
The manager told the media on Friday, “I know their manager was here for a while, so maybe he knows the place quite well. “His legacy is extensive. When he came here, he succeeded.
“I know from the Club that he is a manager who has accomplished significant things here and that he enjoys the support of the supporters. Without a doubt, the game will be challenging. We will make an effort to prepare the game in the same manner that they will.
The people, the fans, I can see they are trying to make an effort. We are grateful about that. They are trying to make an effort to understand what we are looking for.

“In the end, I don’t really care who the opponent is. It will be a challenging game because our adversary will try to harm us with their weaponry. It will be a difficult game because they will both strive to defend and attack.
Maresca also talked about how much he appreciates the Blue Army for trying to comprehend his ideas. The Italian is appreciative of the Club’s supporters, who have been rewarded for their devotion with a record-breaking start to the new season, since that playing style occasionally requires City to slow the game down.
Additionally, he thanked the traveling supporters for their boisterous support throughout the victories against Southampton and Norwich City.
“When you play away, you can hear the fans more,” he continued. “It would make sense for us to replicate the same scenario at home, with [30,000] people all signing together.
“Get Perfectly Ready For The Game”
Manager Enzo Maresca speaks to the media ahead of Saturday’s match with Bristol City.
“It’s a benefit for us if we can create the ideal environment at home. Coventry, Cardiff, and Hull are the three opponents we have faced at home. Even though we lost the game versus Hull, I thought the game’s analysis was sound.
“I can tell that the crowd and the fans are trying their best. We are appreciative of that. They are attempting to comprehend what we are seeking for. When we play a side like Norwich, they go man-to-man, and [goalkeeper] Mads [Hermansen] is the only free man. To be really honest, I don’t like it when Mads has to hold the ball for 10–20 seconds at a time.
“It’s challenging if Mads passes the ball in a man-to-man situation because every player is marking. Most likely, he needs to wait till some adversaries attack Mads.
If that is the case, it indicates that we should wait till our player is available and I can tell that the supporters are trying to understand.
