EVERTON FC: ROUND ADMITS MOYES AIM

/noticias.info/ Steve Round has revealed it was a personal ambition to work with David Moyes.

New man Round observed the Everton boss in action while visiting training as part of his England responsibilities.

And he quickly became and admirer of the way Moyes operates.

Round told evertonTV: "I knew David from the circuit and playing against him with teams, and I've always admired the way his teams played.

"When I was with England one of my remits was to go around the clubs and watch training. I spent a few days at Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, then I cam to Everton because there are a few England players at Everton.

"I went to Bellefield, watched training, and spent a few days with David and I was really impressed."
The former Middlesbrough and Newastle coach was particularly impressed with the way Moyes made the most of a smaller squad and budget than many other teams.

Round recalled: "Here was a staff and a team that were maximising on the talent, and the budget that they have got. Everything they were doing was, I think, the right thing to do.

"When I was there they had a load of children come in from the local area and all the players took them for a coaching session. I thought, 'wow, no club does that apart from Everton'. Then I thought if I ever got the chance to work with David, I would take it."

The Blues have now moved, of course, from Bellefield to Finch Farm, and the new facility has also earned the approval of Everton's new assistant.

"I am very impressed with the training ground," declared Round. "I have been to most training grounds in the country and this ranks up there with the best of them. I haven't seen any better anywhere.

"Everything is in place for the players to get better and move forward." notas_de_prensa_archivo
