He knows football and is good at languages. But I do wonder about his grasp of biology. THE GUARDIAN: Swans still swimming in the right direction Carlos Carvalhal’s side remain three points above the drop zone with seven games left after this defeat at Manchester United. But the former Wednesday manager has the Swans functioning as a unit and should, surely, avoid relegation. Of the recovery from bottom place when he took over at Christmas, Carvalhal said: “We are swimming now, absolutely, and this is good because if you go below the [relegation] line sometimes the sharks push you down and you can go last position. But so far we’re swimming so it’s not bad, but we still feel we need swim faster and we need more points to stay up. I don’t have a number [of points needed], don’t ask me, I don’t know. I am not a person to do that because the best way is to try to win the next game, because you never know in football. A team that hasn’t won many games can win their last three games and achieve nine points and produce a surprise.” [Post edited 2 Apr 2018 10:32]
