The beginning of the campaign of Everton in the 2020-2021 season of the Premier league It has been a dream: two games, two wins, six goals for and two against have him in second place in the table, with a perfect score, and only surpassed by Leicester City, who scored one more goal.
The arrival of James Rodriguez that club has set the eyes of the Colombians even more on their performance, despite the fact that already Yerry Mina has been there for two seasons. And the ’10’ of the Selection has fulfilled from the start. But next to him there is an attacking structure that has been working well, with two men on offense who already have a respectable career at the club: the Brazilian. Richarlison and English Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti has been excited about what this attacking tandem can give him. “I think James Rodríguez is going to help the forwards because he is a fantastic passer,” Ancelotti said, and set a goal: “The goal for Dominic, I hope, is to reach 20 goals because he has the quality and the ability, like Richarlison.”
At least starter, Calvert-Lewin wants to meet Ancelotti’s goal: he already has four goals and today he is the top scorer in the Premier League. The DT believes that the presence of James can enhance it.
“With James in Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 56 goals. I’m not going to ask Dominic to score 56 goals, but he should try to do his best ”, express.

The two attackers are quite young: they are both 23 years old. But they already have achievements to show on their resumes: Calvert-Lewin, born in the quarry of Sheffield United, and loaned to two clubs of the English promotion, lhe bequeathed to Everton in 2016 in exchange for just 1.5 million euros. He came with the badge of a promotion: he was champion of League Two (in practice, the fourth division) with Northampton Town in 2016.
The following year he was crowned U-20 world champion with England: scored the winning goal in the final against Venezuela, that had two players with past in Colombia, goalkeeper Wuilker Faríñez and midfielder Ronaldo Lucena.
This is their best start to the campaign, with four goals in their first two games. The season in which he scored the most was last, with Ancelotti already on the bench from December last year: he scored 13 touchdowns.
Calvert-Lewin has already begun to arouse the interest of other higher-ranking clubs within the Premier League itself. Manchester United, at the request of its coach, One-Gunnar Solksjaer, managed to test the waters. Do you remember that Everton bought it for 1.5 million euros? Today it is priced at 80 million pounds, that is, about 87 million euros …

If Calvert-Lewin was a youth world champion, Richarlison has on his record nothing less than a Copa América, the one that Brazil won at home last year. He started as a starter in the first two games and then lost his position to Gabriel Jesús. But he had the luxury of entering the final against Peru and scoring a penalty.
He made his debut in América Mineiro, went through Fluminense and from there he jumped to the Premier League. After a season at Watford, Everton bought him in 2018, in exchange for 40 million euros.
Richarlison is much more on the playing circuit than Calvert-Lewin, who is much more of a finisher. But the complement has been good and Ancelotti’s thinking is to take advantage of both of them.
“If I play as a forward and have James, (Gylfi) Sigurdsson and (Andre) Gomes behind me, I can score goals and they must do it,” said the coach.
