Everton midfielder Ross Barkley has revealed that despite enjoying working under David Moyes, he believes new boss Roberto Martinez is a better tactician.
The 20-year-old Englishman was given his full-debut by Moyes back in 2012, but he has really grown and developed into one of England’s promising youngsters this season under Martinez and he has put that down to the Spaniard being more tactically smart.
During an interview, Barkley was asked about the difference between working under Moyes and working under Martinez, and the midfielder admitted that it was better working with the former-Wigan boss due to him being better tactically.
‘He’s similar to David Moyes as they both like to take over the training session and be the main man. But Martinez is more tactical. We do a lot more tactical work which is good for me because I’m young and still learning.’
He added: ‘Roberto Martinez has come in and given everyone confidence. He’s a positive man and doesn’t say anything negative. I’m an Evertonian so I want the club to be up at the top end of the table and it’s great to be a part of it.’
Moyes has endured a torrid time at Old Trafford this season and things went from bad to worse last weekend as they fell to a 3-0 defeat at home to fierce-rivals Liverpool, which has all-but ended their hopes of Champions League football.
