New Everton manager, Carlo Ancelotti has said it is not mission impossible for the club to end their terrible record vs Liverpool.
Everton’s poor run in derbies repeated itself in December, with a 5-2 defeat at Anfield marking the end of Marco Silva’s tenure.
Carlo, however, who beat Jurgen Klopp’s team this season, with Napoli defeating Liverpool 2-0 in their opening Champions League fixture, has now said he is looking forward to both clubs clashing in the FA Cup on January 5.
His words, “[Napoli] beat Liverpool this season, it’s a big rivalry here and a big motivation for us.
“It feels good. Honestly, I have a really good relationship with Jurgen Klopp. It is always exciting, playing against them.
“Of course, I have beat them but they are not used to losing. It was a good day for me. I know how much Evertonians want to beat Liverpool.
“We don’t have to wait a long time, because we have the game on January 5, so we will see them soon. It’s not mission impossible, nothing is impossible in football.”
“The attraction is the tradition, history of the club. It’s one of the biggest teams in England,”
“I have managed top teams, that’s true. When I was at PSG, the project was really good there and that attracted me, the ambition of the club and I think here is the same.
“It is not true that I have only managed top teams. I managed Parma in the beginning which was not a top, top team. I like teams that have ambition and a clear idea of how to reach success. Here, I went to the training ground, it is a fantastic training ground.
“The fact that the club wants to build a new stadium, they have a clear idea how to improve. It takes time, I don’t know how long. For me it could be good to be here when the new stadium is open. This is what attracted me.”
