A manager praising his own squad right before the transfer window is just a hostage video with better lighting.

Kim Hellberg hails Boro duo after revealing half-time dressing-room talk

Middlesbrough head coach Kim Hellberg singled out two of his players for public praise in a press conference, calling one of them 'what a player' and revealing he gave the squad a frank half-time talk in a recent match. The Swedish coach, who took over at the Riverside, offered no names beyond the duo and said the dressing-room message was about raising standards rather than singling anyone out. Boro sit mid-table in the Championship as the January window approaches.
