"I believe in the players. I believe in the squad and we`ll go out to win the game"
Michael Carrick is no stranger when it comes to winning football trophies. He had to wait right untill the end of his career before he won the FA Cup with Manchester United. For him "as a kid...I dreamed of winning the FA Cup". That fire and dream hasnt faded one little bit. At his [pre-Brighton] media conference he reasserted his belief in the magic of the FA Cup. In the nature of things he said he saw it as another opportunity to improve and for the team "to put in a good performance". Asked by a journalist from a National, about prioritising League games over the FA Cup (?) Did that worry hm about picking the team? His replie was amusing, if not what you normally expect to hear from Managers: "I`m not worried about it at all if I`m honest......". Michael Carrick is the ultra-professional. He repeated what Boro fans have been hearing from the moment he walked into our club: players and staff are here to win footbasll matches. It doesnt matter whether its the League or Cup games. They all count. He commented that Boro will judge their progress in the League at the end of the season. For now, its the FA Cup and thats the next challenge. Bring on the Seagulls!
