Victims of your success? Can be. Everton, the sensation team in England, is advancing firmly at the top of the Premier League table and has just qualified for the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup. And that, which is so good, poses a huge challenge: the calendar It will be very tough in December and we will have to be very careful at work so as not to saturate the figures and have them available in key games.
Technician Ancelotti’s team must be at work from the moment they learned the name of their rival in the quarterfinals of a Cup, which is very important, considering that it gives access to the preliminary phase of the Europa League: what is coming is none other than Manchester United.
According to the calendar, which could well be modified by the pandemic, the dates set for these games are December 22 and 23, 2020. One day before Christmas!
And here is good news and bad news for Everton. The good news, he will have already left the classic against Liverpool in this month of October and until December 12, when he meets Chelsea in Premier, he will not have very big challenges, which will allow him to give rest to figures such as James Rodríguez, Richarlison, Allan and even Mina or Calvert-Lewin, all with activity in their national teams in October and who will need to alternate to avoid risk of injury.
The not so good ones have to do with the fact that, just in December, the toughest challenges come: Everton receives Chelsea on the 12th, visits Leicester on the 15th and awaits Arsenal on the 19th, with three or four days of rest before the Cup quarterfinals against Manchester United. A month of clenched teeth!
The relieving news is that the month of the Old Trafford team is far from smooth, as on December 8 or 9 they will have a Champions League match in a fearsome group with PSG, Leipizig and Istanbul and on the 12th they have the derby against City. What works in their favor is that there are a couple of matches against Sheffield and Leeds that, in theory, would allow some rotation.
Success has its price and for Everton it has to do with rigorous planning, a total commitment of the players to be very careful with their preparation plans and their breaks and a dose of luck so as not to have problems and arrive with all their available units. to the most important end of the year games.
