Everton winger Mirallas admits Spanish-speaker Martinez bringing out his best

Everton winger Kevin Mirallas admits he's been able to communicate better with Spanish-speaking Roberto Martinez than former manager David Moyes.

The ability to have detailed conversations with Martinez has unlocked further improvement.

"The major change for me is the language change for me because I speak Spanish," explained Mirallas to the Daily Mail.

"For me it is better, although I was very happy playing under David Moyes because he is a good manager. But Roberto is different because the Spanish style of playing football is different.

"It's easier because I speak Spanish with him and I understand better. The Spanish style of football is my type of football and with Roberto it is very different.

"Every day I have spoken with him and it's helped my confidence. I feel I am more consistent now and I am playing better and better."
