[골닷컴] Reporter Park Byung-gyu = Everton’s coach Carlo Ancelotti smiled at the achievements beyond expectations. Everton jumped to second place, running undefeated in five games, including four consecutive Premier League victories.
Everton won 1-0 in the 2020/21 Premier League round 15 away from Sheffield United at Sheffield Bramall Lane at dawn on the 27th (Korean time). Gilfi Sigurdsson broke the tight balance with an accurate shot in the 35th minute of the second half and led the team to victory.

Coach Ancelotti said at a press conference after the game, “Our opponent was a good team. We were calm and were pretty good at defending. I kept making opportunities to score goals.” The players who were active also praised him. “These are very good players. We brought important players and we had a good season because they were there. We have no intention of reinforcing in the upcoming winter transfer market,” he said.
With this, Everton quickly climbed to 2nd place by streaking for 4 consecutive league wins. “Every game is difficult and complicated,” said Ancelotti. Fortunately, we are really happy to be in second place. “I didn’t expect it before the season, but I want to stay in this ranking.” Of course, he said he would not be proud of the current ranking. Two days later, there will be another game,” he said.

Meanwhile, Sigurdsson, who scored the winning goal, sacrificed for the team by playing as a midfielder who fell behind his original position. Then, at a crucial moment, he moved forward and scored an important winning goal. “We needed 3 points, but we expected it wasn’t easy. Sheffield wasn’t lucky this season and it’s still a good team,” he showed humility.
“The situation is changing rapidly. We had a good start, but we recovered after experiencing several crises (a draw in four games). Now, I hope this trend will continue until January.”
