Besic: I like tackling
Everton midfielder Muhamed Besic has said that he believes that the Everton fans are starting to really support him and says it really helps his game.
Asked why he thinks the fans like him, he said that he likes a good old fashioned tackle and they appreciate the way he plays football.
“It helped me a lot,” he said. “At Ferencvaros the fans loved me so I had to do the same here. Maybe it has started but I don’t know. I like it when the fans support me.
“I don’t know why they like me. I think maybe they like my style. But you’ll have to ask them!”
“I like tackling,” he smiled. “When I was younger my father was always criticising me about not tackling and saying I was too easy. After two or three years I started to play as a central defender and started to tackle more.
“I practiced in games. When I went to Ferencvaros I would play more games as before, when I was at Hamburg, I would only train with the first team, never play.
“For me, it doesn’t matter where I play. I only have to play more games in that position because always when you change it is difficult [to adapt].
“I am happy now that I have played many games as a number six. Now I can learn and improve.”
