'Phenomenal' Barkley was born to play football, says Martinez

Agen Bola Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - Roberto Martinez hailed the impact of Ross Barkley and labelled the 20-year old a “diamond of a footballer” after he helped drive Everton to a 3-0 victory over Aston Villa at Goodison Park. The Liverpool born star laid on an assist for Romelu Lukaku’s second half strike and his forward driving runs troubled Villa all afternoon in a hugely impressive return to first team action. The game was Barkley's first appearance of the season after damaging knee liagments in training in August and Martinez was full of praise for the youngster. “Sometimes you ask yourself if he was born to play football. As human beings you’re not born to kick a ball but he looks more natural with the ball than without it. He was phenomenal," he told reporters. “He was sensational. On Thursday he put the ball in the top corner out of nothing and scored three goals in an exercise. It was his way to let everyone know that he was ready.”
