Even his larger-than-life personality cannot prevent Yerry Mina from now being the 'other' Colombian in the Everton squad.
But that's not to say he cannot be just as important.
If this is a big season for James Rodriguez, it's as equally as important for Mina.
Rodriguez is not only considered one of the, if not the, greatest player to emerge from the country but he retains a global superstar status.
There's a strong argument to say he's the biggest signing Everton have made, certainly in the modern era.
With the excitement, the hype, the marketing campaign that saw images beamed across the world in iconic locations - 'reaching' 400m people - comes the expectation.
Rodriguez can handle it, of course, but plenty of weight already rests on his shoulders, and he's not even kicked a ball for the club. It's the expectation that he will be a difference-maker in tight games, elevate the squad's quality and class in the final third, and provide a steady stream of chances for Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Ancelotti asked to be reunited with a player he has got more out of than most other coaches, and the club delivered.
But what about Rodriguez's compatriot? What about Mina? What about the expectations on him?
The pressure on the 25-year-old may not signalled by huge digital billboards in Times Square or in Miami, but it's there.
This is the start of his third season at Everton, the first two have been inconsistent. Injuries have prevented a run in the team but, then, so have his up and down performances.
Mina has made only 35 Premier League starts to date and the big challenge for the club's most expensive defender, is to be constant, be a regular, be dependable and steady. Stay fit and stay in form. Be low key and reap high rewards.
The towering defender seemed as thrilled by Rodriguez's arrival as anyone, posting a picture of the pair onto his instagram page, thanking God there were now club mates as well as international ones.
He has been pictured with a beaming smile, laughing and joking, with Rodriguez at Finch Farm this week. Mina knows just how good Rodriguez is and his enthusiasm for the signing makes the feeling of excitement yet even more infectious.
He has also benefited from that promised Rodriguez supply line, notably in the 2018 World Cup, nodding home a chipped cross against Poland.
Mina will be dreaming of similar service in royal blue but improving on his return of three goals in two seasons is only one aspect of where he needs to be better.
And the priority is what he does in the other box.
He has been passed fit to play against Spurs tomorrow afternoon but had Mason Holgate not been ruled out with a toe injury, there's a strong chance he would've been sat on the bench for a sixth time under Ancelotti.
Holgate is considered first-choice, while Michael Keane finished the season strongly and recently signed a new deal. Everton want another centre-half before the window closes and are looking at Fikayo Tomori as a loan option. Jarrad Branthwaite is young but showed has shown he can play at this level while Lewis Gibson is highly-rated, but is expected to spend the season out on loan.
So where the expectation on Rodriguez comes from everywhere, for Mina it comes from the supporters, for many of whom the jury will still be out. It comes from a manager who has made it clear, in his selections, that he isn't 100% sure, and from the competition in the squad, that is to get tougher.
Mina is a talented defender, talked of only last season in the corridors of Finch Farm as future captaincy material and a player who has shown exactly what he can bring.
But he is a defender who is prone to mistakes, tactical missteps and performances that teeter on the edge of collapse. He has the attributes, the physical capabilities, the tools and the personality to be one of the first names on the team-sheet, but he needs to find the missing ingredient: consistency. In all parts of his game.
It has been said that what Ancelotti looks for in a defender is someone who is a pessimist, a player who is always fearing the worst.
In Rodriguez, he will want the opposite, someone who sees opportunities that others can't and takes risk, but in Mina, he needs someone who sees danger at every turn.
If Mina can find that mindset, stay fit and find a level of consistent performances then he will realise his vast potential. And in doing so he will become as important as Rodriguez promises to be.
