Middlesbrough Coach Delighted With Iheanacho’s New Form

Middlesbrough head coach, Michael Carrick, was pleased Nigerian striker, Kelechi Iheanacho, was able to provide two assists in his side’s win against Blackburn Rovers Friday, Soccernet.ng reports.

After a debut goal against Oxford United, Iheanacho was involved in two goals, providing two assists in Boro’s victory, to continue his newfound form.

Carrick, in his post-game presser, revealed every step towards promotion counts, be it goals or assists, failing to single a player out, but crediting the whole team for a common goal.

“I just think the boys are in a good place, and the squad’s in it together, and everyone is playing the part which is important. At this time, who scores, who sets it up. It’s more of how you impact the game and the roles within it.

“Everyone is giving everything they got and that was tonight. I don’t think if we don’t have the right attitude or spirit, that can get a touchy game tonight but we’ve seen it off really well,” the former Manchester United midfielder said in quotes revealed by the Northern Echo.

Middlesbrough are now firmly in the running for the Championship EFL play-offs spot, but Carrick, like he did against Oxford United, played down his team’s chances.
