? Sunderland manager demands greater concentration? ‘I tell Anton to watch Rio and what he does’Ricky Sbragia has urged Anton Ferdinand to model himself on his brother Rio and study DVDs of the Manchester United centre-half in action. The Sunderland player occupies the same position but, despite possessing undoubted natural talent and sometimes proving highly impressive for his club, Ferdinand has contributed to their relegation worries by making some untimely errors this season.”The biggest thing with Anton is concentration,” said Sunderland’s manager, whose side have a vital game at Bolton Wanderers on Saturday. “He could concentrate more and be more focused. Anton does switch off sometimes, he admits it. Sometimes Anton dawdles into position but Rio gets right there. I tell him to watch Rio and what he does.”Anton has got everything and will become a top class defender but he’s still learning the game. He’s very open to learning though. He knows he makes mistakes and he’s come to me and asked ‘how can I improve my game?’ He drifts mentally sometimes and he knows that. In terms of making us harder to beat he can be our key man on his day, but he has to be on his day all the time.”With Ferdinand only 24, Sbragia, a former centre-half himself, knows time is on the side of a defender who joined Sunderland from West Ham United for £8m last summer. “Anton’s probably not had enough of working with experienced centre halves who can guide him and tell him he’s making the wrong decisions on the pitch,” he reflected. “So we show him videos of his game and tell him where he’s done brilliantly and where he could do better. It’s just little things, like getting into the right position before he has his little rests and getting him to take the initiative sometimes, address things earlier.”Anton’s a really good player but, if he picks things up, he could become a fantastic player. “I’ve told him to watch top class defenders like his brother, what they do, how they recover, how they cover people.”Meanwhile Craig Gordon, Sunderland’s goalkeeper, will have exploratory surgery on his injured knee tomorrow in an attempt to get to the bottom of the problem.SunderlandPremier Leagueguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2009 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds
