Tim Cahill relishing challenge of Jack Rodwell at Everton FC
Tim Cahill 300[LNB]TIM CAHILL is relishing the challenge for his place presented by the development of Jack Rodwell at Everton.[LNB]The clamour for 19-year-old Rodwell to be selected more regularly at Goodison is growing, with the teenager making his first Premier League start of the season at Villa Park last weekend.[LNB]And Cahill's place seems the most under threat with David Moyes warning: 'I see Jack, in a way, pushing Tim Cahill at the moment.'[LNB]But the 30-year-old Cahill seems unconcerned. 'I have been with the manager a long time,' he said.[LNB] 'Whether it is tongue in cheek or whether it is true, I am not bothered because I am a professional and I have been around the block a few times.[LNB]'It is just something that comes with the territory.'[LNB]Cahill is currently on international duty with Australia - they play in Poland tonight - and after playing largely up front on his own during a frustrating World Cup tournament under Pim Verbeek, Cahill says the Socceroos are embracing new coach Holger Osieck's more attack-minded game plan.[LNB]Osieck showed his hand in his opening game in charge by playing Cahill and Scott McDonald up front together.[LNB]Ironically the match against Switzerland in St Gallen ended 0-0, but Cahill admitted to enjoying the extra company up front.
