The good presentations of James Rodríguez in Everton are setting the trend: in the press conferences, a good part of the questions has to do with the Colombian, his new role, his impact and the best way to take advantage of it.

And if there is someone who has everything very clear, it is Carlo Ancelotti, the coach who trusts the most in his game, the one who is responsible for the left-hander wearing blue.

The Italian explained what is the exact position that has allowed the Colombian to shine in his two presentations in the Premier League and incidentally clarified the doubts about his obligation as a creative: “At this moment he is not playing as a number 10, but of course he has the quality to do it … He’s playing on the right side but not as a winger because he likes to come in to use his skill in the middle of the field. “

At a press conference prior to the match against Crystal Palace, that Saturday, the DT made a curious comparison when referring to Calvert-Lewin and the way to take advantage of the creative volume that is being created: “With James in Madrid, Ronaldo scored 56 goals Honestly, I’m not going to ask Dominic to score 56, but he has to try to do the best he can, “he said.

And he was encouraged to include Richarlison: “I hope he can reach the goal of 20 goals. Behind them we have James, Andre Gomes, Sigurdsson. Our forwards have to be happy. Bernard, too, an assistant. They are comfortable. If not. they score at least 20 goals each will have a problem with me. “

Ancelotti celebrated that there is no news in the infirmary on the day before the match against Crystal Palace: “We have all the team in shape, except Holgate and Branthwaite (previously injured). The others are all in shape and available,” he announced.

Regarding future signings, he ruled out a new goalkeeper, as he feels very safe with Pickford, and hoped that the arrival of at least one more central defender would be possible. It is said that it could be Todibo.

In any case, this is just beginning for the coach, who does not want to be confident despite his perfect start to the season: “We have started the season well. We have done well in the first two games. Tomorrow we have a good test. Palace, Like us. They started very well. They played a fantastic game against Manchester United. “
