Everton boss Benitez delighted with squad's attitude: Very pleasing

Everton boss Rafa Benitez is delighted with the attitude of his players after their 1-0 Florida Cup win against Pumas.

Everton followed up victory over Millonarios with this win against Pumas.

The biggest plus of his embryonic tenure, insists the Spaniard, is discovering a motivated and adaptable group of players.

“I would say the attitude of the players [is the most pleasing element of pre-season]," said Benitez on evertontv.

“The way that we want to play, they have been trying to put in place in the games.

“It's too early [for everything to be implemented] but it was quite positive.

“There are a lot of patterns that we could see and the communication and understanding between the players was quite good.

“The facilities [in Orlando] were good, the bonding between players was good. There were positives after the two games and we will go back with more energy and ready for the next challenge."
