Everton assistant coach David Ancelotti tells Dominic Calvert-Lewin can have a similar impact on Cristiano Ronaldo because ‘he knows his body so well’ talk movement.
Davide, son of Toffees boss Carlo, added that Calvert-Lewin had “extraordinary ability” and continued to improve on and off the pitch.
Monday marked the first anniversary of the pair’s arrival at Goodison Park and a young Ancelotti believes the club’s number one striker is a step above many others in the Premier League.
David Ancelotti has given him one of his highest praises by comparing the England international to Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo.
He explained that both players have a certain amount of control over their bodies that only very special players have.
Calvert-Lewin ‘knows how you feel’
“Of course, (Calvert-Lewin) is just getting started,” Ancelotti said. “But, as I said, game after game, I saw huge improvement. Also in training, he worked really hard to improve himself.

“The special ability he has, that all big talents have, is that he knows his body very well. He knows how he feels very well, which is not common.
“For example, (Cristiano) Ronaldo is such a player. He understands his body.”

In a stunning start to the Premier League, Calvert-Lewin has 11 goals in 14 appearances. He is level with Tottenham’s Son Heung-min and Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy, behind Liverpool star Mohamed Salah.
His performances in front of goal helped Everton climb to fourth in the table, while the 23-year-old scored three more goals in two Carabao Cup games.
“He is a special player,” Ancelotti added. “He has extraordinary ability.
“Game by game, you can see his improvement and how he’s making a difference in this league. It’s not easy to make a difference.”
