Spme of Ancelotti PRE Watford P/C
Newcastle is gone
Ancelotti on Newcastle lessons: "The lesson I think was that everything can happen in football until the end of the game. We have to consider the fact we played well, and also the fact that we can't concede two goals in one minute. It's gone, we have to be focussed"
Injury update
“Andre Gomes did a fantastic recovery. He is almost fit. After Crystal Palace,
we have the possibility to prepare him for the game against Arsenal.”
More on Gomes
Ancelotti on the break: "It was a good period with almost all the players, with only Gbamin out. The squad is fit, in a good physical condition. Gomes has had a fantastic recovery, because he's almost fit, but we need to be careful with him."
Ancelotti on Gomes: "I think the work the staff did with him is fantastic. This is really good news.
Gbamin news
More surgery for Gbamin confirmed as well
Ancelotti: "We hope to see him before the end of the season
Transfer update: 'Anything can happen'
Ancelotti on transfers: "I said we are not anxious to find a new player, because we have a big squad. Some players I didn't know really, I know a lot better now. If there was an opportunity, we could consider, but I don't think the market showed us a good opportunity
"The squad is good, we can improve, we can play better and we can have a good final period of the season. We are out of the cups, but I think we can finish well."
More on transfers
Ancelotti on potential signings today: "I don't think so
Ancelotti on Niasse: "We didn't receive until now official offers, so he's still with us. If there are offers for him, we will have to consider.
Cuco Martina is the same."
Watford really difficult
This is a really difficult team to play against. We have to be ready, prepared and, as I said, we have more possibility to win if we play well.
“The easiest way to score is a counter-attack. But, you want to have a control of the game, possession has to be efficient
Richarlison transfer update
Ancelotti on Richarlison :He's still here and he didn't go to Barcelona!
"We didn't receive an official offer for him. He is a really important part of our squad. Rumour is rumour. And even if not rumour, Richarlison is a really important player for us.
Winter break
Ancelotti says he would rather play every few days, but Everton will have a break after Watford.
"I think this is a really good benefit for the players. The fact we have in this period all the players ready and fit is important for them. Sometimes breaks are important to have players in better health."
