da betano casino： Speaking to the club’s official website, Alex Iwobi has hailed the influence that Carlo Ancelotti has had on his game.
What did he say?
da poker： The Nigeria international arrived last summer from Premier League rivals Arsenal, but has struggled to hit the ground running at his new club.
The 23-year-old has played just 21 times across all competitions this season, scoring two goals, with injuries playing a part in his more limited game-time – a hamstring problem suffered in a clash against his former side saw him miss the next six games in the Premier League.

Now, Iwobi has praised Ancelotti for the work he has done on integrating him into his new system, and how he is continuously getting better under him.
He said: “It feels natural and I am comfortable in the system, it has been bringing the best from me in training. The way he (Ancelotti) tells me to come inside is helping my body position, so I receive the ball in a better place (on the field). It means my first touch takes me where I should go and I can come infield at the right time to be free and able to turn and play forward.
“He is helping me a lot and I am benefiting in training. I feel I am getting better every day with him.”
Future is bright
Valued at £28.8m by Transfermarkt, Iwobi certainly has a battle on his hands when it comes to establishing himself as a key part of this Toffees team.
The likes of Richarlison, Bernard, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Moise Kean are predominantly left-wingers or previously played there, so there is no guarantee that Iwobi is going to be a regular starter at Goodison Park.
Did he play for Everton? Simple question but a lot tougher than you think…
But his comments about how Ancelotti has helped him to get better in the short time the Italian has been in charge of the club, bodes well for his long-term future on Merseyside. Ancelotti has worked with some superstar players in his long managerial career: the likes of Kaka, Zinedine Zidane and Cristiano Ronaldo to name but a few.
Iwobi will be learning from someone who has seen what it takes for players to get to the top level, and provide him with the kind of coaching that he would not have gotten under someone like Marco Silva. That is exactly why the Nigerian’s verdict on the club’s recently-appointed manager is so exciting.
Meanwhile, Everton’s swoop for this 21-goal starlet should spell the end for this Ronald Koeman signing.
