Everton forward Theo Walcott has played a prominent role ever since arriving at Goodison Park.
Everton attacker Theo Walcott has suggested to Sky Sports that he loves training with Marco Silva.
Silva arrived at Everton in the summer, and he has changed their style from what Walcott was used to at Goodison Park.
When Walcott arrived at the Toffees Sam Allardyce was in charge, and his methods were different from what the England international was used to.
Allardyce would focus on keeping Everton’s team shape organised, and required men to get behind the ball quickly.
Silva, on the other hand, is far more attack minded than his predecessor.
And Walcott has suggested that he is enjoying being back with a manager who wants to play on the front foot, just like he was when he was with Arsene Wenger at Arsenal.
“Being used to Arsene’s style of football for a long time, everyone knows the way Arsenal would play, I feel Sam had a different culture, defensively strong and keeping clean sheets to win games 1-0 or 2-0, be hard to beat,” the £20 million January signing said.
“I’d say the boss now, Marco, is very similar to Arsene, the way he wants to play a beautiful pressing game, keep the ball, nice and quick tempo. No slow tempo. So intense. Training is so intense every day, but that’s what I want, and that’s what I like.
“The young talent we’ve got here as well, and with the manager’s ideas. You feed off his ideas, you really do, he’s so passionate for the game, and he’s young and bright as well.”
Walcott is currently playing a key role down the right-hand side for Everton.
The striker has featured regularly for the Toffees this season, and been one of their brightest attacking threats.
