'We want to be aggressive' - Brian Sorensen calls on his Everton side to know their identity

New manager Brian Sorensen has insisted that it’s important for the players in his Everton Women side to “know what our identity is” as he called for them to try and implement a style of play that is both possession-based and aggressive. The Blues saw two bosses leave the club last season as Willie Kirk departed on October 16 while Jean-Luc Vasseur, who won the Champions League with Lyon in 2020 was, sacked after just 10 games in charge on February 1.

Dane Sorensen, 41, who joins Everton after a second spell in charge of Fortuna Hjorring in his homeland, told evertontv : “We want to be aggressive and we want to be proactive – I think that is the key word – in everything we do. That is with the ball and without the ball.

“We want to have control over games, and you do that by keeping possession. We need to make sure the players know what our identity is and implement that day in, day out. All the details matter.”
