CARLO GETS RICH BACKING

EVERTON star Richarlison believes that “smart and demanding” manager Carlo Ancelotti will deliver glory at Goodison.

The Brazilian, left, has returned to training following a period of lockdown back home, admitting he is impressed by the Italian manager’s open dialogue with his players. And the forward is confident playing for one of the great coaches will help both his development and the growth of a young Blues team. “Carlo is a coach who is competitive and very smart and likes to have a team that is also that way – he demands the best from each player,” said Richarlison.

“I am trained by one of the best coaches ever, who sees the game like few others and has a mentality that favours attacking and searching for victories. He knows how to chart the path for us to play our best.”
