Sunderland’s Pierre Ekwah thinks he now comprehends Tony Mowbray’s need for him to play more aggressively.
With his efforts for Sunderland last season, Ekwah attracted some attention, but Mowbray wants the 21-year-old defensive midfielder to be more proactive.
The Sunderland player acknowledged that Mowbray often urges him to be more aggressive on the field and said that he now comprehends why the seasoned strategist feels this way.
Ekwah emphasized that he wants to develop his game by according to Mowbray’s teachings and claimed that opponents during his time at the West Ham school were less aggressive than the players he has encountered in the Championship.
Ekwah remarked on SAFC Unfiltered, “The gaffer is always talking about how aggressive I want to be and I definitely get that now, especially coming from an Under-21’s programme six to eight months ago.
You enter the Championship and play against players who are really going for it, so everything is not as aggressive.
I want to absolutely get better at it, and I’ll keep working on it every day with the aid of the people here.
In Sunderland’s 5-0 victory over Southampton, the defensive midfielder established himself as a crucial player in Mowbray’s starting lineup and netted two goals.
