Too Small! After Chelsea in the Carabao Cup, Manchester United great Michael Carrick warns the Blues ahead of their second leg match

The manager of Middlesbrough orchestrated a surprising 1-0 win, and his Championship club is now only 90 minutes away from a trip to Wembley in the championship match.

Carrick informed Mauricio Pochettino that his squad will be “prepared” for the second leg of the semi-finals at Stamford Bridge and that “football is about dreaming” before the match.

After a trophy-laden playing career at Old Trafford (from 2006 to 2018), Carrick is no stranger to trophies.Carrick praised his team’s unity and said, “It makes me proud to see that,” in an interview with Sky Sports.

Witnessing it was an incredible experience. Despite their chances and our occasional reliance on luck, I believe we did a good job managing the spaces.

We had to showcase a little bit of everything, and I’m absolutely thrilled. It was wonderful for me to witness the joy on the faces of so many individuals; I understand the significance to everyone.Our next move is clear. In the second leg, we will be prepared to go all out and see what happens.

Things that shouldn’t happen, like what happened tonight, are part of the dreaming that happens in football. We are prepared for anything that may come our way, but that won’t stop us from giving it our all.

There were drаmаtic scenes at full-time as Thiago Silva confronted irate Chelsea fans, and the only goal of the match was scored by Hayden Hackney at the Riverside Stadium.

Tottenham Hotspur ‘set to rival Manchester United, Liverpool for Hayden Hackney’

The youngster, who made his senior debut in January 2021 after joining Boro’s academy at under-10s level, is now 21 years old.

Since then, Hackney has played in 63 games for Michael Carrick’s squad in all competitions, starting 21 of those games this season (often in a defensive midfielder capacity) in the Championship.

Boro defeated Chelsea 1-0 at home in Tuesday’s first leg of their semi-final match. The kid, who was born in Redcar, scored twice this season, including his first in the EFL Cup.

Not only is Hackney well-respected by Middlesbrough, but he has also made his debut in September and has five caps for England’s Under-21 national team.The midfielder has a contract with Boro that runs until the summer of 2027, but rumours have it that a number of elite English clubs are keeping a careful eye on his progress there, leading some to speculate that he may be leaving soon.

The Evening Standard states that Tottenham have joined the competition for Hackney’s signing, adding to the names of Manchester City, Liverpool, and Manchester United who have all been linked to the player.

Middlesbrough are reportedly expecting offers for midfielder Harry Hackney next summer, but they have told interested parties that they will only sell Hackney in January in response to a “sensational” offer.

It appears that England’s national team is actively seeking out young talent, like that of Hackney, as they are required to have eight players, four of whom must be from their own development system, coached by clubs in the same league.

Premier League clubs have expressed interest in signing Hackney, but the player is believed to prefer finishing the current season with Middlesbrough before deciding what to do with his future in the summer.

Ange Postecoglou is actively strengthening Spurs’ roster in other areas, while they put their pursuit of Hackney on hold. Forward Timo Werner is the first player to join them from RB Leipzig, joining on loan until the end of the season with an option to buy next summer.
