They face Sunderland – currently eighth in the WSL 2 – in the Women's FA Cup on Saturday (12:15 GMT)y.
"For me, it is a very dramatic competition. Since I was a child, it was the competition that delivered the most surprising results," said Maestre.
"It is one of the most interesting and powerful competitions. Being part of it now as a coach is like a dream. I'm very pleased to be in it.
"I have been talking about the mindset that we need to improve – having that humble ambition. We need to respect Sunderland.
