“We know the match will be difficult. Teams fighting for survival in the table always try to play at their maximum capacity. We have to be ready for this,” Carrick noted. He also pointed out that his players create many dangerous opportunities but need to find a balance between attack and defense.
Speaking about their opponents, the coach highlighted “West Ham's” strengths in counter-attacking: “This team has quality players in attack and can be very dangerous if allowed to play their game.” According to Carrick, the preview of previous matches has allowed the team to prepare for the opponent's style of play.
There was also an update on player conditions: “Mason Mount is likely not to be ready for the game against ‘West Ham,’ but I hope he will recover by the match against ‘Everton,’” the coach clarified.
Carrick emphasized the importance of a good atmosphere within the team, strong relationships with players like Bruno Fernandes, and their readiness to work towards a common goal. “We all have the same objectives and hope for a successful outcome in the upcoming matches,” he concluded.
