“Marcus is aware of this higher than anyone and he wants to return to some extent the place he’s a pacesetter with out the armband. He must show that he understands the criticism, he respects the opinions of others and that he desires to go additional.
“Sometimes you’re in a second the place your future has been put in a really secure place and there’s occasions the place gamers signal a brand new contract and it turns into troublesome for them to give attention to the precise issues.
