Carrick: I need no guarantees, I know the weight of the situation卡里克:我不需要任何保证,我知道现实的分量
Asked ten times about his job, he gave the same answer – clear, and supported.
被问十次帅位,他给了同一个答案——清楚,且被支持。
Tuesday evening's press conference at Como 1907 was the first time Carrick faced all questions directly at this ground.The first thing asked about was support: "I need no guarantees.That is clear.I understand this job, I understand my responsibilities, and I don't need anyone to tell me when it's good or when it needs to be better.I know the weight of reality, no problem." He then added something more direct: "I feel the support – yes, why wouldn't I?My relationship with everyone at the football club is good, there is no issue on that front."
In reports on the same day, he named his communication counterparts: with football director Jason Wilcox, Omar Beralda, the club owners and the players, "communication is clear and smooth, and everyone is moving towards the same goal".In other words, the line to the board is open – combined with reports a day earlier that "Wilcox raised three demands in person", this gives the full picture: trust remains, deadline is on the table.
