Mirallas prefers Spanish-style freedom

Kevin Mirallas has admitted that he prefers being managed by Roberto Martinez.. The 26-year-old believes he has flourished this season with more freedom in his play following to the arrival of Martinez, with the pair regularly conversing in Spanish.

Mirallas said: "The major change for me is the language change because I speak Spanish.

"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.

"It's better because under David Moyes I was not as free but now I am on the line (out wide) more under Roberto — it's different but that's what Roberto wants me to do.

"I feel I am more consistent now. I play better and better. The first game I was not so good and felt tired but now my body is excellent and everything is okay."
