Leicester City boss Enzo Maresca reflects on Hull City showing in captivating draw

Enzo Maresca admits Hull City’s performance on Saturday impressed him, as the Tigers earned a deserved point in a captivating 2-2 draw.

A capacity crowd watched on as Fabio Carvalho saw an early penalty saved before the Liverpool loanee rattled in the opening goal, only for Jamie Vardy to level up 10 minutes later with a converted penalty.

It sounds like it was an intense and back-and-forth match, with Anass Zaroury giving Hull City the lead once again with his second goal, only for Jamie Vardy to quickly equalize for Leicester City. The closing stages seem to have been tense, with both teams pushing for a winner but ultimately settling for a draw.

Enzo Maresca acknowledged the quality of the opposition, highlighting Hull City’s strength in their attacking quartet, known for their speed and technical ability. He described the match as a good contest, noting the tactical battle of both teams pressing each other man-to-man. Maresca emphasized the importance of perseverance, stating that sometimes when a win isn’t possible, securing a point through continuous effort is commendable, which Leicester City achieved in this match.

“We conceded a goal but the reaction was there. We conceded a second one and the reaction was there. We could have done many things better, but I think the character was there and that was important.

“I was very happy with the reaction. Sometimes it’s important you see the reaction, and we saw that. You have to adapt. We made some mistakes but, overall, we continued to try until the end. What they (his players) have done is not normal and when we had nine points more (at the top of the league) it was not normal,” he said. “We are very happy where we are and we still have nine games to go.”

Enzo Maresca praised Jamie Vardy for his crucial double, emphasizing Vardy’s ability to consistently score goals, which is invaluable for Leicester City. Maresca also mentioned the importance of managing Vardy’s workload due to his age but expressed confidence that Vardy will continue to contribute significantly to the team’s success until the end of the season.
