Outside Noise!?
Enzo Maresca said:
“We need to learn how to deal with the outside noise because of the situation, and the noise will always be there.”
“But at the same time, we need to try to make our noise — that is winning games, like we have done today. I hear our fans chant a lot…”
Red Card Affect
