LONDON – Twenty years after the start of his career as a technician, José Mourinho recorded an un pleasant first novelty on Sunday: to make the loss begin the season.
“I didn’t like my team,” Tottenham said after a second-half headbutt gave Everton a 1-0 Premier League win on Sunday.
Despite all that Everton dynamics, with James Rodriguez and Allan controlling midfield on their debut, Tottenham will be useless in the future.
Tottenham depended on Harry Kane as an offensive exit, and England’s advantage controlled two hits in Everton’s penalty area.
“The fight started with the way we pressed, or the way we don’t try,” Mourinho said. “Our tension at the front (front) very, very low. It’s a lazy tension and when you have a lazy tension, you leave the opponents. build from behind. “
It is a depressing way for Mourinho to begin his first full season at the helm of Tottenham.
But it’s the best start for Everton coach Carlo Ancelotti, who took the season average last year as Mourinho. It’s the first time Everton has won at one of six most sensitive classic clubs since December 2013.
Tottenham defenders Eric Dier and Toby Alderweireld gave Calvert-Lewin to face Lucas Digne’s free kick with a headbutt in the 10th minute of the period of the moment.
“Sometimes it can be a solitary role, ” said center forward Calvert-Lewin. “But today, because we worked and won our individual battles, it allowed us to play and create opportunities.
“I was excited. I couldn’t wait to play today. Not only the first game of the season, but also with the quality we’ve brought. “
Qualities such as James Rodríguez, who at 29 will revitalize a career that never settled in Real Madrid, which he joined after lighting up the 2014 World Cup with Colombia. James was re-founded with Ancelotti, who coached James at the start of his career at Madrid and ceded him to Bayern. Munich.
In only his moment game since February, after betting once with Madrid in June, James looked strong on the ball, which he sent to the area accurately.
Allan, a player who discovered Ancelotti, also commanded in the middle of the field.
“The signing of James and Allan is a big plus for us,” said Abdoulaye Doucouré, who also debuted in everton midfield.
“We worked very hard today, it’s been a wonderful week. The coach pointed to this game and we are very pleased to have the win in the end. We don’t spend too much time together. “
The path of functionality, and the winner of the Calvert-Lewin setting, saved Richarlison’s redness that failed an open purpose in the first part after beating goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.
INSTANT IMPACT
Timothy Castagne also had a start not to forget Sunday in Leicester. A defensive signature for Atalanta, Castagne made an effect in the other final when they moved to a centre of fellow Belgian Dennis Praet in the 56th minute to give Leicester a 3-0 win over the ascended West Bromwich Albion.
“He defended well, attacked and Array . . . he will run all day and is to get into the area,” said Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers.
Jamie Vardy then scored two consequences in 10 minutes: the first after the striker retired via Kyle Bartley and the moment after James Justin knocked down through Dara O’Shea.
Vardy, 33, scored 23 goals last season to finish as the Premier League’s most sensible goalscorer.
“There are many wonderful strikers at this level, however, any team would need someone like him there,” Rodgers said. “It’s super cool, clinical and has speed and running skills. . . It’s a wonderful start for him. Score two goals and very well for the team. “
West Brom goalkeeper Sam Johnstone turned down Harvey Barnes and Vardy, while Matheus Pereira saw a weak effort stored through Kasper Schmeichel in the first half, but a discrete game came to life after 56 minutes when Leicester took advantage of the first game to take control. .
