英国曼彻斯特，10月9日：周五，恩佐·马雷斯卡力挺曼城所取得的各项成就，坚决驳斥了任何关于这些冠军头衔带有“污点”的说法，并强调即便面临违反财务规则而遭受制裁的风险，也绝不会阻止他接受这份工作。
MANCHESTER, England, Oct 9 : Enzo Maresca mounted an emphatic defence of Manchester City's achievements on Friday, rejecting any suggestion their titles were tainted and insisting the threat of sanctions over financial-rule breaches would not have deterred him from taking the job. Maresca, who was part of Pep Guardiola's coaching staff when City won the treble in 2022-23, was peppered with questions about the case for almost the entirety of his press conference ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash with Liverpool at Anfield.
2022-23赛季，马雷斯卡曾是佩普·瓜迪奥拉教练团队的一员，协助球队实现了三冠王伟业。在周日曼城将于安菲尔德对阵利物浦的英超比赛前夕举行的新闻发布会上，他几乎全程都在被问及与此案相关的问题。
It is the league leaders' first game since being found guilty of more than 100 serious breaches of the Premier League's financial rules. City have denied all wrongdoing and are appealing. "The last time I was here was the treble season (2022-23)," he added.
这是这支联赛领头羊自被认定违反英超财务规则达100余次以来的首场比赛。曼城方面坚决否认所有违规行为，并正在提出上诉。
"I know the effort from the players, from the club, from the manager in that time, that was Pep. So I know exactly the effort that the club put to achieve that kind of target.
“我上次在这里是在实现三冠王的那个赛季（2022-23赛季），”他补充道，“我深知当时球员们、俱乐部以及主教练佩普所付出的努力。因此我完全清楚俱乐部为达成那些目标付出了多少心血。对此我毫无疑虑。”
So I don't have any doubt about that."

当被直接问及那些成就是否带有污点时，这位意大利籍教练回答道：“绝对没有。”今年6月接替瓜迪奥拉执掌球队的马雷斯卡还多次强调自己对曼城管理层的信任，并表示在洽谈主教练合约期间，从未有人提及俱乐部面临指控一事。
The Italian, who was hired to replace Guardiola in June, also repeatedly stressed his faith in City's ownership, and said the topic of the club's charges was never raised during his managerial contract negotiations. "I trust the club because I trust the people. So that is why I joined the club," Maresca said. "And then there is not another club where I would like to be.
“我信任这家俱乐部，因为我信任这里的人。正因如此我才选择加入，”马雷斯卡说道，“除此之外，也没有其他俱乐部是我想去效力的。所以能在这里我非常开心，从第一天起我就深感自豪。”“但如果曼城赢了，我们该怎么办呢？”他问道。
So I'm very happy to be here, I'm very proud since day one." MARESCA BACKS CITY Maresca said he would "absolutely" still have taken the job had he known exactly what lay ahead, and turned the tables several times when the prospect of City losing their appeal was raised. "But what will we do if Manchester City win?" he said.
2022年5月，瓜迪奥拉曾公开表示，若发现俱乐部对他撒谎，他就会离开球队。有人问马雷斯卡是否也有同样的想法。
Guardiola famously commented in May 2022 that he would walk away from the club if he discovered they had lied to him. Maresca was asked if he felt the same.
“等我们上诉成功后再来谈这个问题吧，”他说道，“现在谈论毫无意义，因为我掌握的信息不多。不过我明白大家为何都在这儿——因为大家都想听到些什么。但现在还不行。”2023年，曼城遭到英超联盟指控存在115项财务违规行为，当时瓜迪奥拉还开玩笑称自己可能会去执教处于英甲联赛的曼城。
"I would like to speak about this situation when we win the appeal," he said. "Now is no sense to speak about anything because I don't have many information, but I understand the reason why most of you are here, because most of you want to hear something. But no." Guardiola had also joked about coaching City in League One after the Premier League's 115 financial allegations were levelled against the club in 2023.
当被问及无论面临何种处罚自己是否仍会担任曼城主帅时，马雷斯卡以自己在莱斯特城的执教成绩缓和了气氛。
Asked if he would remain City's manager regardless of any potential sanctions, Maresca lightened the mood by pointing to his record at Leicester City.
“我曾带领莱斯特城夺得英冠冠军，所以如果我们真的降入英甲，到时候再说吧，”他笑道。
"I won the Championship with Leicester, so if we go down to League One, we will see," he said.
在围绕此案的近15分钟讨论后，马雷斯卡终于迎来了第一个关于足球的问题——关于国际比赛日后哈兰德的身体状况。他微笑着回应：“终于问到这个了。”
After nearly 15 minutes dominated by the case, Maresca greeted the first question about football, concerning Erling Haaland's fitness following the international break, with a smile: "Finally."
如今，曼城将注意力转向利物浦以及安菲尔德之行。默西塞德郡警方表示，将采取相应的安保措施；由于担心曼城的球队大巴可能成为袭击目标，安保工作正受到严密监控。
ANFIELD SECURITY CONCERNS City now turn their attention to Liverpool and a trip to Anfield. Merseyside police have said an appropriate policing operation will be in place with security under scrutiny amid concerns City's team bus could be targeted.
一条社交媒体帖子号召利物浦球迷在开球数小时前携带旗帜、横幅、烟花及信号弹聚集在球场附近，以“欢迎”曼城球队。
A social media post promoting a "Bus greeting" has urged Liverpool supporters to gather near the stadium several hours before kickoff with flags, banners, pyrotechnics and flares.
“每次比赛前我都会担心安全问题，不只是对阵利物浦时，对阵伊普斯维奇时也一样，”马雷斯卡说道，“我知道安菲尔德的草皮条件不错，现场氛围想必也会十分热烈，但我选择担任主帅正是为了指挥这样的比赛。”2018年，在安菲尔德进行欧冠比赛前，曼城的球队大巴曾遭到瓶子、罐子和信号弹袭击，损坏严重到不得不更换一辆新大巴才能返回曼彻斯特。
"I'm always concerned (ahead of games), not just Liverpool, I will also be concerned about Ipswich," Maresca said. "I know that Anfield is a nice pitch, probably will be even more warm in terms of environment, but the reason I decide to become manager is for this kind of game." City's team bus was struck by bottles, cans and flares before a Champions League match at Anfield in 2018 and was damaged badly enough that a replacement was required for the journey back to Manchester.
