On the 23rd day of the Premier League Everton y Manchester United faces will be seen. Both have the ambition to keep the three points to pursue their rival Manchester City, in the case of the ‘Red Devils’, while the ‘Toffees’ do not want to give up more ground and therefore want victory to be closer to the select group of those classified for international competitions.
For this reason, Ancelotti wanted to put aside the comments about having put James Rodríguez on the bench for the previous match against Leeds United where they achieved a 1-2 victory: “I think that all the players have difficulties to understand why they do not play , but I always say that there are two reasons not to play. One may be that they did not play the previous game well and the second is to give them rest. If they didn’t play well, I’m going to tell them, but if I don’t tell you anything and you don’t play, it means you’re going to have a break. I hope they understand and if not, they can approach me and I’ll explain, “he argued at the press conference prior to the meeting between the ‘Red Devils’ and ‘Toffes’.

In addition, he noted that his decision did not go through James’ bad game against Newcastle: “I do not think that James did not play well against Newcastle. I did not give him a break against Leeds because he had played badly against Newcastle. I gave him rest because he has played three games in a row and I wanted to keep him fresh for the game against Manchester United, and also wanted to avoid injuries. That is the reason why James and Michael Keane did not play. I am going to rotate several players, it is a normal way to manage the teams “.
On the other hand, Ancelotti is comfortable with the work that Yerry Mina has been doing in the rear, since he has been improving date after date: “Yerry is playing well, but it’s not just an individual key. If one defends well, it is the sacrifice of the whole team, of the forwards, the midfielders. When a team defends itself well together, the results are achieved. ”

It should be remembered that this commitment against Manchester United will be the ‘revenge’ of Everton, because in the first round of the Premier League, the reds won at Goodison Park with a score of 1-3.
