The Wigan Athletic manager Roberto Martinez has said that he is extremely happy with the positive start made by the club in the recent matches. Wigan recently had made a great start against Everton.
Even though they could not hold on to the advantage in the match, the Spaniard was delighted with the progress made by the team over the years. Wigan traditionally struggle to get results early in the campaign, but fight back to save themselves in the latter stages of the season. Martinez has already stated that he does not want such an end to the season this time around.
Even though Wigan have got only one win this season, the manager has said that he is pleased with the start made by the club to the new season. Roberto Martinez almost left the club in the summer for Liverpool, but decided to extend his spell at the DW Stadium. Wigan have so far played 7 matches in the Premier League and have already got 5 points ,which is much better than what they managed last season. Everton scored a penalty in the closing minutes of the match against Wigan to secure a point and to deny Roberto Martinez his second win of the season.
“I think we have started really well and we have been able to carry on the momentum from last season. The first international break distracted us a little bit – we have had a couple of performances that have been at a good level without reaching the outstanding level we need in this division. Our performance against Everton was at a very good level for the majority of the game. The amount of chances we created against a good Everton side shows you how good we were,” said the Spaniard after the match against Everton during the weekend.
