Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti said on Friday that he himself would be able to score goals, playing as a striker for Everton, having Colombian James Rodríguez in the center of the field and he wants attackers Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Brazilian Richarlison to score at least twenty so many each this season.
Everton have won their first two games of the season for the first time in seven years.

“I think James Rodríguez is going to help the forwards because he is a fantastic passer,” said Ancelotti, who had the Colombian under his command at Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
“The goal for Dominic, I hope, is to reach 20 goals because he has the quality and the ability, like Richarlison,” added the Italian.
“With James in Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 56 goals. I’m not going to ask Dominic to score 56 goals, but he must try to do his best,” he extended.
Calvert-Lewin has already scored four after scoring his first career hat-trick in a 5-2 win against West Brom last weekend, while Richarlison opened his account this season with a double in another 5- 2 against Fleetwood on Wednesday in the League Cup.
“I think if they don’t score at least 20 goals each, they will have problems with me,” Ancelotti said.
“If I play as a forward and have James, (Gylfi) Sigurdsson and (Andre) Gomes behind me, I can score goals and they should do it,” he concluded.
