Ancelotti celebrates his debut with Everton
- Anthony Privetera
On 10 December, sixteen days ago, Napoli defeats GENK in a victory that guaranteed the round of 16 to the Azzurri, but did not help save his spot on the bench.
Then the talk with De Laurentiis and the exemption. An era seems to have passed. Today Carlo returned to Goodison Park for a new adventure. And he did it as a winner. The team, under Ferguson's interim leadership, had struck 3 consecutive useful results. But the victory was missing from December 7, 3-1 at Chelsea.
Against Burnley then here is the 4-4-2, with a surprise move: Sidibe deployed right outside in midfield, no longer as a full back. A decisive debut in this position. At the 80 minute mark Calvert Lewin directs his header past the keeper. It is the decisive moment and Ancelotti can already celebrate.
It will take time to bring the Toffees to the top in the Premier league, but in the meantime the path is the right one. Waiting for a new smile, with his left eyebrow always high.
