Because, you know, what Amarin did, you know, look, okay, when you become a coach, you got to look at the material that you have.
And then you look at what you should be playing.
But what Amarin had, he didn't look at the material.
He just said, no, we're going to do that.
So he didn't really care about if the team cannot handle the three at the back and the four in the middle, whatever he wanted to do.
I think the difference with Carrick is, Carrick, as a player, he was a guy that always, you understand, like, the way he influenced games, you understand, in the middle of the park, it was like, always tried to be in control, always seeing things, tried to anticipate, tried to see it before it happened.
Now, if you look at his team, they all find each other very easy, they know exactly where they need to be, and everybody's in the spot, so it becomes an automatic play sometimes.
And I think this is one of the key things, and like Dima said, and what Stevie said,
The way you talk to them, there were two things, the way of talking, because some people sometimes think it's words only, but sometimes it's also the proof how you play the game and how he plays the game and how he wants his team to play the game.
So it's not like I'm watching Man United doing something totally different.
No, I'm watching Man United almost playing the way he was as an individual, because that's how he played the game and understanding it and knowing exactly what the holes were and try to always be in control of the game.
And I think that is what they're trying to build now.
Yeah, no, I understand what the guys are saying.
It's like, look, sometimes you've got to wait your time and the timing is very important.
I think, like we said, you understand, like I think Dima highlighted very good was his confidence.
You know, as an individual, it doesn't matter where you play in the field, what position you play, you need to play with some confidence.
The only way for him to get the confidence is either you play games or you practice so hard on yourself, you understand, at moments where, you know, when the training is finished, you're going to do your work.
