In a heartfelt message to Middlesbrough supporters this Christmas, manager Kim Hellberg made a touching commitment to work diligently for the team's success.
Hellberg has had a promising start as the head coach of Boro and is eager to recover from the setback of his first defeat against Bristol City last matchday as they prepare to face Blackburn Rovers on Boxing Day.
The Boro manager is fully dedicated to ensuring that his team is ready for the upcoming festive schedule, which is packed with games. In line with a cherished tradition, he was invited at his last press conference before Christmas to share a special message with fans, modeled after the annual speech delivered by the reigning monarch. Here’s what Hellberg had to say:
"Merry Christmas, Boro fans! I sincerely hope you get to enjoy this holiday surrounded by your family and friends. For those who may not have that opportunity, let’s celebrate on their behalf and do so with love and kindness. Let’s also remember to take care of the children; they are our future.
I promise to give my all every single day to ensure Middlesbrough achieves its best possible performance and wins as many matches as we can for you. While I can't guarantee victory in every game, I can assure you that I will be present and put forth my utmost effort daily.
I spend so much time at Rockliffe that it feels like I practically live here! That’s my commitment, no matter the outcome of the games. Whether we win or lose, I will strive tirelessly to make Middlesbrough supporters proud of how we play and conduct ourselves, which I hope leads to numerous victories.
The atmosphere at the Riverside tomorrow is going to be fantastic, and I am really looking forward to it. Of course, I felt disappointed right after the Bristol City game, but the beauty of this league is that you get the chance to bounce back quickly."
