Birmingham boss McLeish hails Michel attitude
Birmingham City boss Alex McLeish is delighted with the attitude of January signing Michel.
The former Sporting Gijon star made his full debut for Brum in their win over Portsmouth this week.
"I thought Michel played very well," Eck told bcfc.com.
"He over stretched in the first half and felt a wee bit tight in his hamstring, so as precaution we had to take him off.
"He's got a big heart but we told him not to let his team mates down by playing on.
"It was important we kept players who had good mobility out there in the second half against Portsmouth, so Michel rightly told us he was finished at that time and it was ideal to get fresh legs on.
"Michel and the other new players have given me a problem with their good performances against Portsmouth and that's all you can ask from anybody that comes into the team.
"We've now got a lot of thinking to do for the Everton game this weekend."
