Recently, the Post talked about the process of Everton signing Glalish. Although it is generally believed that the player's career is in a downward phase, coach Moyes still chose to believe him.
In a football world, time is always unpredictable. On the night of August 11, Everton's new CEO Angus Kinneal looked at his watch and was in a heavy mood. He had planned to rush home before his son went to bed, but it was obviously impossible.
Kinneil explained to the people present that he needed to make a headache for every father and tell the child that he could not come as promised. However, a person in the room offered help. It is precisely because of him that Kinneil cannot accompany his family. So he took the phone and called FaceTime.
Soon, an incredible little boy appeared on the screen, and all the unhappiness disappeared immediately: "Hello, little guy!" Gallish's voice came, with that iconic smile: "Sorry your dad is coming back later. We are completing something, and I'm going to sign Everton soon."
Mobile phones played an important role in this transfer, and many people think the deal is not worthy of praise, because Gallish's career seems to be in a downward phase. After all, Manchester City paid him £100 million four years ago, setting a record for English football transfer fees. He is a key figure in Manchester City's triple-winning champion, but is now on loan.
In fact, Gallish did not take the initiative to ask to leave Manchester City. He realized that something was wrong and discussed with Guardiola where he would go. Several European clubs expressed interest in him, including Naples and Atletico Madrid. However, Gallish decided to make a decision after listening to Guardiola's opinion.
Guardiola's answer was unexpectedly ambiguous, giving the option to Gallish. If you want to stay, you can stay, and if you want to leave, you can leave. Not long after, Moyes called.
Moyes has a unique appeal to top players, and he enthusiastically introduces the potential of the new stadium and the support of the fans. But he also made it clear that joining Everton does not guarantee a start every week, which is a reality without sugar.
Moyes knew that if Gralish showed any hesitation, the deal would fail. However, Galish was very positive and he was eager to prove himself. Moyes was satisfied with this and the deal was basically finalized.
Moyes explained: "We know he might be a 'lad', but he is indeed a good guy. After careful consideration, we think he still has great potential."
To learn more about Everton, Gallish also consulted national teammate Pickford and other trusted friends. He also spoke with Hall, who had just moved from Chelsea. Hall's high opinion of Everton made Gallish more determined to make his choice.
In the game against Brighton and Wolves, the offensive trident composed of Galish, Hall and Ndiaye performed well. Especially in the game against Wolves, Gallish won warm applause from fans, who have created more goals in the last two games than they have combined at Manchester City in the past two seasons.
Moyes praised Gallish's performance: "He won everything, he has more potential to be explored." Yesterday, Gallish won the Premier League Player of the Month Award, an important milestone in his career.
