Before the game with West Ham we had four draws in the championship and we really wanted this victory. It was very important for our confidence. Having achieved it, we continued our success at Southampton. For now, we are focused on the next game.
My coach Ashley Cole is one of the best left backs in Premier League history. We talk a lot about my game, my body shape, my movements... I watch Ashley's videos when he played for Chelsea and study them. He was aggressive and I want to be like him, I want to play more in attack. In recent games, I played badly in attack, and he was one of the best in this sense.
I want to play better because I know that sometimes I made mistakes in matches. This is normal for all players. But I definitely want to play better in the next game. We have a good rival in Manchester United and I am sure that I can improve. It will be a difficult match, but we at Goodison know that our fans will create a very good atmosphere for us. We will go to victory together. We don’t need to rethink anything - we are at the beginning of a long season and we just need to score three points, ”Everton’s official website quotes Mikolenko.
