Carrick has become a regular player. However, whether it is the football champion in the area or some bloggers, they are keen to raise a question, that is; Carrick does not have experience in multi-line operations, and believes that there is a high probability that multi-line operations will collapse next season. In my personal opinion, this point of view is actually more about wanting to show that I know football very well.
Argument 1: Carrick's performance in this half of the season is very good, but he just has the advantage of a single line. It feels like a single line battle started with 1-0. However, let's look at the competitors in this half of the season. Except for Arsenal and Manchester City, plus a team of Villa, it is difficult to say that the schedule of other teams is much denser than Manchester United. In fact, Premier League games are full of uncertainties, and every victory is extremely difficult. Being able to achieve a relatively stable winning rate with a limited lineup (the winning rate is much higher than that of the predecessor), doesn't it prove the ability of the coaching team? In fact, in this half season, those unsatisfactory games were precisely caused by the loose schedule, which made it difficult to guarantee the state. As for physical condition, this is more determined by the lineup. The depth of Manchester United's lineup shows that even if it is only a single line operation or a certain degree of personnel rotation, physical problems will still occur in the second half.
The second argument is that Carrick is not favored because he has no multi-line experience. In football, how many coaches can actually be said to have rich "multi-line experience"? If another condition is added, that is, having rich "successful multi-line experience", then how many options will be left? Is it Elora or Glasner? Can their multi-line experience be said to be very successful? It may be acceptable in a team of the size they coach, but it is not absolutely certain that the team can maintain the top four in the league when playing Champions League intensity games? From another perspective, if you have no previous experience in multi-line combat, does it mean that you will not be able to lead it well? I can give a counterexample and that is Kompany. It just so happens that Carrick, like him, has quite a wealth of coaching experience in the British Championship. Speaking of the so-called "multi-line combat experience", from a player's perspective, which year has Carrick not been in a state of multi-line combat? What he actually lacks more is single-line combat experience (laughing and crying). He has top-level Champions League experience that many candidate coaches do not have, as well as ways to adjust his mentality and state, and has even personally participated in the practice of competing against and winning against teams that are much stronger than himself. Amorim has said that he does not understand why players perform well in one game and poorly in another. Perhaps this problem does not exist in Carrick's mind. He knows this too well.
If we have to step back ten thousand steps, is the coach we need now who can perform well on multiple lines and can be called a god of war really the most important thing? Should we also look down on the more famous so-called "single-line head coach" Conte? He led Chelsea and Napoli to both league titles. If in the next two years, Manchester United is eliminated from the Champions League group stage, but wins the Premier League championship, should we be happy, or should we show disgust?
Finally, I would like to emphasize that a team's "multi-line combat" ability is determined by many aspects. The strength of the team's lineup is the most critical. The role of the coach is reflected in the ability of the entire coaching team, as well as the medical team, physical fitness team, etc. Carrick has used the existing lineup and has achieved very convincing results in single-line operations. That is without spending a penny on the team to buy players, and under the premise that more than half of the team does not have the ability to be in the top ten of the Premier League. I think after giving enough time to upgrade and polish the lineup, next season the league can show 70 to 80% of the performance in this half of the season, and the top five in the league will not be a big problem. When it comes to the Champions League, the temperament of a strong team must be cultivated year after year, and this cannot be rushed. For those fans who feel sorry for the fact that he is a famous star and his identity may be tormented by public opinion, what I can say is that when he performs poorly, just be a little gentle and start from yourself.
