It seems premature for some but not for the Everton fans. They have been waiting 33 years to see themselves as they are today, at the top of the Premier League standings, and although they understand that this is just beginning, it does not mean that they cannot dream, many of them for the first time, of staying there until 2021 .
They are grateful, of course, for the appearance of a more intelligent than fast James, who has appeared like water in the desert for an inconsequential and thick attack like that of 2019/2020 and has turned him into a tuned orchestra, with details to be corrected, of course , but with better performers, with integrated first and second guitars and, finally, harmonics, with sheet music.
“He stole the show … It’s a shame the fans weren’t here, what a performance Everton was,” Owen Hargreaves told BT Sport. “He has one of the most feared left-handers in all of Europe,” said Joe Cole. And so the accolades have continued, which in the end have only one person responsible: Carlo Ancelotti.
“We are lucky to have him,” say fans on social media. But, according to the Liverpool Echo, it is not luck, it is the effect of having a winning strategist
“James Rodriguez is still one of the most stellar football talents on the planet. But Everton used to be a football club that demanded, and often got, the best. It’s in the Latin inscription on the club’s crest. Nil Satis Nisi Optimum. Only the best. For too long that motto was ignored. Now, however, with the serial winner in charge of the football club, they are starting to think that way again, “writes the outlet.
They affirm in Liverpool that if it weren’t for Ancelotti who stands on the line, they would not be wearing the Allan shirt, a less stellar but very efficient signing, nor of course James Rodríguez.
And it’s strange because, according to the Liverpool Echo, “Everton is still the club that has boasted more Golden Shoe winners in the top flight than any other football club. A look at the list: Jack Southworth, Jimmy Settle, Alex ‘Sandy’ Young, Bert Freeman, Bobby Parker, Wilf Chadwick, the immortal Dixie (twice), Tommy Lawton (in back-to-back seasons), Bob Latchford and then Gary Lineker. “
Many laughed when, in his presentation, Ancelotti set a difficult goal: “For a top-class club, victory is winning trophies, winning the league,” he declared in December.
The congratulatory hug today, in addition to the players and their manager, goes to Farhad Moshiri and Bill Kenwright, who brought an ambitious team to Goodison Park. The next step is for the fans, to aim for the top again now that they finally have more than one reason: “Think big. Shoot for the moon. Who knows? Even if you miss, you will land among the stars. “Liverpool Echo concluded.
