Andre Gomes on why Carlo Ancelotti joined Everton, haircut dare response and best moment with fans

Everton midfielder Andre Gomes has detailed the reason Carlo Ancelotti joined the Blues, his favourite moment during his time at Goodison Park and whether he will be cutting his hair during self-isolation.

Speaking during a Q&A on Instagram live, the Portuguese star said Ancelotti took the job as manager in December because he trusts in the club.

As cited by the club's official website, Gomes explained: "Carlo is a great human being. He is a really nice guy.

"He has great experience and he is helping the team a lot. Everton is doing a massive effort to make the team better.

"I believe Carlo trusts in the club, otherwise he wouldn’t have come here.

"We want to make the fans proud and we are on the right way to do that. The fans are with us all the time.

"We are trying to be better and improve the club. We want to reach a high a level. We all love Everton and right now I think we are on a good track to reach our goal."

Gomes also admitted the reception he received from the fans after his return from injury earlier this season was the most special moment for him since he made the move from Barcelona.

He said: "I have had many really good moments at Goodison but I have to say this one [was the most special].

"It was such a warm welcome. The fans have always been incredible with me.

"Hearing this [reception], I felt really confident and happy to have the support from them.

Asked if he would be opting for a Ronaldo-style haircut like his team-mate Richarlison, the 26-year-old was adamant in his response: "No, no, no!

"I am not confident about doing that. If I did, I would have to be in quarantine for life!"
