The game at the American Express Stadium this Saturday brought the manager who got the Everton job this summer with many people the Blues wanted.

To be fair, former Liverpool coach Rafa Benitez has never been a fan favorite when replacing Ancelotti. His appointment can be said to be the most controversial in the history of Merseyside football. After Hard Mohili made his choice, many Evertonians welcomed his arrival. Open mind.

After all, the fate of the team will always come first, just like everyone in his profession, the Spaniard will ultimately be judged based on the results.

In many ways, considering the number of other bosses who crossed many other local opponents in the game, the manager's crossing of Stanley Park is the last taboo of English football.

Benitez, 61, may be older and wiser, but has so far adopted some low-key practices.

Remember, this is the same person who made the infamous "little club" remarks to Everton in just a few weeks in 2007 before mocking Chelsea for handing plastic flags to supporters.

How much would he eventually bid in the air-raid shelters at Stamford Bridge and Goodison Park?

As Benitez said at his unveiling as the Blues boss, he will always "fight" for his team. Although he used to belong to Anfield, he is now fully committed to Everton's cause. Whether most fans want him or not.

Pat Nevin is a winger who wore Chelsea and Everton blue jerseys. Last week he praised Benitez as a "great coach" and said he was in West London. He behaved dignified during his tenure, where he was "disgusted" and added: "It is not the time to judge him. We still need some time, but in the end I doubt that Toffee will like him."

Although the Merseyside fans on both sides of the park had to do some double shots when they first saw Benitez waving a blue and white scarf and wearing Everton training clothes, so far, He also made other subtle moves in a blue three-piece suit and the lapel emblem of the club badge of his first game coaching at Goodison Park.

Although some people have long supported him as the best candidate for the job, he is smart enough to realize that he is not everyone’s cup of tea-if this reminds you of Ancelotti, sorry-and still very Glad to make his players the center of attention.

However, for many people, the biggest worry is not that Benitez had been hired by another Premier League team that happens to be less than a mile away, but that the majority of his recognition in the Premier League is impressive. The impressive achievement game is here, at least in football, a long time ago.

Although almost everyone in Goodison is happy to let Ancelotti coach and hope that he can provide the continuity the club desires and lead them into a new era at Bramley-Moore Wharf, the Devon Lake style The collapse allowed Everton to fall from second place on Boxing Day and the 5th place in early March (or 4th if they win the game in hand) to 10th, which will encourage Many Blues copied the famous Italian raised eyebrows during the downturn.

Perhaps the strength of the old master is waning, so is it really a forward-looking step to replace him with a manager 10 months younger than him?

This reminds us of the person he faced this weekend, Brighton & Hove Albion's Graham Potter.

As a skilled left-back, he worked hard during his time as a management apprentice to elevate Ostersund (a club only established in 1996) from the fourth level of Swedish football to the top level, and obtained European qualifications.

Now 46 years old, three years after he played for the first Swansea city in the UK and now Brighton, the Solihull-born boss is regarded as a progressive method and a "holistic" training principle. One of the new generation of modern coaches.

Such qualifications, coupled with Everton's traditional history of success with young coaches, convinced many people that Porter could wave his wand to inspire a revival of the Blues.

In their first top league match with Brighton, their two victories in the first game undoubtedly helped him maintain a high position in this game.

Maybe he prefers experience, or he trusts the manager to be closer to his peers, but since controlling Goodison five years ago, the 66-year-old Mr. Moshiri has greatly increased the age of the blues boss.

He appointed Ronald Coman for the first time at the age of 53 in 2016. He is the oldest person ever to hold this position. And now Benitez was appointed in his 60s, and this number has been rising.

The only exception is Marco Silva, who was only 40 years old when he was taken over by Mr. Mohili so passionately, but after his tenure was flat, Everton’s major shareholders may have delayed their youthfulness for some time. coach.

However, the "people's choice" as a "people's club" ultimately cannot guarantee long-term harmony.

Ancelotti chanted "Carlo Fantastico, Carlo Magnifico" from the beginning, and it was an instant hit.

When Bernard won the overtime title in the FA Cup's 5-4 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, when he was blowing on his cup, everyone else on the bench was in There were cheers around him, and he was praised as a cool customer at the time. There, I saw it all in football.

Maybe the harsh reality is just not as important to him as others?

Known as a "chameleon" coach who adapts to his surroundings, after returning to Real Madrid, Ancelotti may now be back in his more natural habitat, where he massages the self-esteem of some of the most talented but moody Galactic in football The skills are particularly prominent.

Although he and Benitez have both started similar stops in their respective careers, as well-known tacticians and micro managers, perhaps the attention to detail provided by the Spaniard’s more hands-on methods is actually more suitable for Egypt. The needs of Fulton players?

It’s a small step, but after the 2-1 victory over Huddersfield Town in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday, a small group of fans could hear the support of Benitez in the manager’s post-match interview. singing.

As one Evertonian Sean Hollywood said on Twitter: "Rafa is not the coach we want, but the coach we need."
