Clutch & accelerator pedal heavy

Moin, I got a 90-inch Escort MK5 convertible as a 1st car & wanted to ask what I should look at if, as described in the title, the clutch & gas pedal are heavy-handed. When I start up, I either give too much, or too little gas and it feels like I don’t get the clutch pedal back up again, or it feels like the pedal has several “levels” to set, because you don’t get to where you want to go with the foot on the pedals, because it s I don’t really let go down and then it’s too far down. If I go down a bit from the pedal, I’m too far up. (I hope you understand what I mean). If relevant: He has the 1.6 CVH EFi with 77kW (105Ps). If anyone can tell me anything about it, I would be very grateful. Thank you
