Martinez pleased with Alcaraz

New player settling in well with the team

Roberto Martinez says another plus point to take out of the confidence-boosting 4-1 win over Accrington Stanley was the individual performance of Antolin Alcaraz.when he came onas a half-time substitute for Sylvain Distin in Wednesday's pre-season outing.

Everton's new signing had watched on from the sidelines against Austria Vienna at the weekend but Martinez felt the Store First Stadium was the right place to ease the 30-year-old into proceedings.

“It's important he got that first game and got to know his teammates,” Martinez explained to EvertonTV.

“It feels like he has been with us for a long, long time and he plays with that maturity. That is down to the group of players that we have who have welcomed the new signings really well.

“It's pleasing to see Antolin settle in really quickly. That's always a nice sign of a dressing room.”
