Everton assistant manager Steve Round: Seamus Coleman can become one of the best fullbacks in EPL
Everton assistant manager Steve Round believes that Seamus Coleman can follow in the footsteps of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leighton-Baines-c21987 and become one of the best fullbacks of the English Premier League.
Coleman has established himself as a regular member of the Everton side after some eye-catching performances in the ongoing 2010-11 season.
Round said, “Leighton is a good role model for Seamus and the challenge now is for him to try and emulate Leighton, to try and get those consistent performances and become a real regular in Everton’s first team. So far we are all very pleased with him.”
“We have changed his position a little bit and pushed him further forward to play right midfield. That has focused on his attacking play which at the moment is his strength,” the assistant manager added.
Coleman’s performances with Everton in the season have earned him an international cap for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wales-c3041 in a Nations Cup match. Round believes that Coleman will achieve big things in the near future and will
become a big player one day.
Even though Coleman’s preferred role is at the right back position but his attacking abilities have forced David Moyes to use him as a right winger.
The assistant manager also added that Coleman needs to work hard on his defensive qualities, as a world-class fullback should be equally good in attack and defence.
The former Newcastle United manager believes that Everton signed him as a bargain for only 150,000 pounds and the rate at which he is developing, he can be a really good business for the club.
Coleman was voted as the Player of the Month for Everton in November 2010 and was rewarded with a new contract later in the month to ward off interest from big clubs.
The 22-year-old has made 25 appearances for Everton so far and has scored three goals. He has been a revelation in the current season, and has forced Moyes to leave the experienced http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Phil-Neville-c29904 to the bench in most matches.
