Newcastle's Taylor urged to follow
Terry
tribalfooball.com - October 09, 2006
Newcastle United boss Glenn Roeder has told young defender Steven
Taylor to study Chelsea centre-half John Terry to improve his
game.
Like Terry, Taylor is hoping to one day make the leap from Under-21
star to senior international as Roeder insisted the product of the
Newcastle Academy should be looking to style himself on the England
skipper.
"I've told Steven that he should watch every game that John Terry
plays in," said Roeder.
"He should be analysing his performances, everything he does in a
game and looking to bring it in his own performances. I don't think
there is a better role model for a young centre-back than
Terry.
"Steven should be looking at the way he attacks the ball when he
heads it, the way he tackles, the way he holds himself and the
positions he takes.
"We are working with Steven every day on the training pitch, as we
are with all the defenders here but, when he goes home, it will
also help him to watch how players of Terry's ability play the
game."
