In our pre-match interview, Carrick reacted to Sesko’s award success and backed the Slovenia to kick on as a Red. “I’m massively impressed with Ben,” said Michael.
“It’s not surprising, the impact he’s had and the difference he’s made for us in so many ways is purely a credit to him. We can all see him growing and improving all the time, taking really good steps. I think patience has been important from all parts, and Ben especially in terms of how he’s trained, how he keeps improving, how he wants to take the next steps. He understands where he’s at, where the team’s at and he’s been a real credit to himself to be honest.
“He’ll play a big part and he’s going to be here for quite some time I think, with the type of player he is and the type of personality he is. He is made for this club.”
