Carrick understood this. He curated a structure that could get the best out of Casemiro. He chose to adapt to the situation rather than insist on his own way. As a result, we saw the best version of Casemiro at 33, who in turn helped us secure Top 3. Not many managers get this.
Casemiro: slow, immobile, not press resistant, can’t turn, can’t pass, no technical ability.
It’s been a good 15 years but it’s time to go.
