Carrick praises Mainoo’s performance and partnership with Casemiro | OneFootball

In the post-victory press conference after the win over Manchester City, Michael Carrick spoke about Kobbie Mainoo’s strong performance and especially about the partnership he formed with the Brazilian Casemiro.

“I thought Kobbie was great out there, alongside Case (Casemiro), the two of them together. I think that gave us a solid foundation, especially with Licha (Lisandro Martinez) and Harry (Maguire). I felt it was a game to gain experience and to know what it feels like.”

Both midfielders had been questioned by the media and English fans, but the duo’s solid performance showed a possibility for the English coach.

“I think sometimes we can underestimate what the players do, but for him (Kobbie Mainoo) to play today and hold firm… I won’t lie, it was a calculated gamble too, about how long he could play and whether he would hold up, because he literally trained two or three days a week for about eight or nine weeks, so that shows what it really means to him,” concluded the coach, praising Kobbie Mainoo’s performance.
