Carrick reveals respect for Ferguson and Capello

Michael Carrick feels blessed to count Fabio Capello and Sir Alex Ferguson as his managers.In three years working with Ferguson at Manchester United, Carrick has amassed a hat-trick of titles, reached successive Champions League finals and even been crowned a world champion.Now he is hoping to transfer some of that success to the international stage with England, where Capello has made a similar impact in a far shorter period of time."They both have that real presence and aura about them," he said. "When they say something everyone listens and takes note."Sometimes they don't have to say anything, just their presence or reaction comes across really strongly to the players. It brings a respect. It is not a fear but a feeling that spurs you on to do well."In some ways, it is like a kick up the backside. You know that you have always got to be on your toes and performing well."
