Everton winger Theo Walcott has revealed that he is enjoying life under Marco Silva because of the positive energy and high-intensity football that he encourages, according to a report on the Liverpool Echo.
Walcott has made a good start to the new season under Silva and has already managed to get his name on the scoresheet twice in three matches.
The former Arsenal forward is hoping to continue his good form throughout the season with an aim of being recalled to the England national team by Gareth Southgate.
When speaking about playing under Silva, Walcott said:
Whoever is in charge I’m going to be working as hard as possible, like everyone in the squad. It’s a simple as that, or you won’t be playing.
Obviously, we are learning from him as well, and what he brings to the team as well. But I think it’s a very positive sort of structure we have at the moment in the group and that’s what you want to be, you want to be around positive people and the boss and the background are definitely very positive.
We train very hard. We work very hard for each other every day in training. The intensity is very high and that’s what we need to bring to our game. I think you can sense the style we are playing is completely different to what we are used to and I am thoroughly enjoying it, to be part of the squad and a part of the transition stage as well.
We’ve been playing some really good stuff and I’m really pleased with how we’ve started.
Walcott proved his worth to the Toffees as his lightning quick speed helped them take the lead against Bournemouth on the weekend, with the match eventually finishing 2-2.
With Richarlison suspended for three matches, Walcott will be the man that Everton will look at to provide their attacking spark.
