Everton manager Roberto Martinez backed his on loan forward Gerard Deulofeu to continue to show his qualities for the rest of the season. An inspired game yesterday in the 2-1 defeat to Fulham yesterday ensured that the Spaniard would be pushing for game time in the coming months.
“There's a big gap in terms of physicality between the English and Spanish leagues -- it's a lot quicker here and there is a lot more contact, so for players who are artists with the ball like Gerard there will always be a period of adaptation," Martinez said.
“Gerard is doing that very well. He is making the difference when he is on the pitch. He is learning bit by bit, he is very quick and I am sure that in the next few months Gerard will play a very big part in this team.”
