A complicated season for Everton. The Northern England club held on on the penultimate day, eventually finishing in 16th place in the Premier League. “First of all, thank you to you, the supporters, for supporting us this season and for continuing to inspire us until the last day of the season. The main goal was to stay in the Premier League and I don’t think that would have been possible without your incredible support,” notes Dominic Calvert-Lewin on Instagram.
A black season also for the Toffees striker. Injured in the ankle during the 3rd day of the championship, Dominic Calvert-Lewin will be absent from the field for three months. Back on the lawns at the beginning of January, the striker will then experience a good period. “DCL” does not score for eleven games in a row. He finds the way to the nets on May 11 in the league.
“On a personal note, I had to dig deep inside at times this season and went through some of the toughest times in my career and life to date. The love and support you have shown me has helped me get through this. One thing I’ve learned this season is that everyone in any field fights battles you know nothing about, and there’s no shame in finding someone to talk and be open and honest with yourself about how you really feel. To all young people who bottle up their emotions, I advise talking, to a friend, family member or someone who listens, talking saved my life. It will make you realize that things are never as bad as they seem, and you will discover that the paradox of true strength is being able to face your weaknesses. Ending the season on a high meant everything to me, enjoy the toffee fan break, you deserve it. May the pressure continue to be a privilege.”
