New Everton boss Roberto Maretinez has heaped praises on self-exiled Super Eagles striker Victor Anichebe and his Toffees teammates for the professionalism they showed during the club pre-season friendly with Accrington Stanley.
.
The Blues ran out comfortable winners in the pre- season meeting at the Store First Stadium, with goals from Darron Gibson, Victor Anichebe, Kevin Mirallas and Leon Osman adding to a bright team performance.
.
The scoreline gave Martinez his first win as Everton manager, but he insisted at the final whistle, the result was not the priority.
.
"It wasn't about winning or losing," he told evertontv.
.
"It was about having a good attitude and approach.
.
We used the game for a good physical exercise.
.
"The professionalism was outstanding. It was really good to see the fans enjoying what turned out to be a really good workout."
Anichebe is really loved by Nigerians so I would love him to join the Super Eagles of Nigeria. Dope one.
