"During that time, I didn't even have the strength to play with my son..." Facing the footage of Brazil's TNT Sports, 24-year-old Anthony's eyes were red, revealing his darkest moment at Manchester United for the first time. From the Premier League "billion yuan parallel goods" to the core of the European Union's finals, this Brazilian genius used a self-salvation game to tear off the label Manchester United put on him.
Manchester United Career: The sky-high transfer fee has become the mountain that crushed him
In 2022, Anthony, who was in the halo of "Tenhager's direct lineage", joined Manchester United for a sky-high price of 95 million euros, but what awaited him was not applause, but endless doubts.
The data was cold: only 12 goals and 5 assists were contributed in 96 games, and fans mocked him for "turning more goals than scoring."
Psychological collapse: Faced with accusations of domestic violence and the bombardment of the British media, he admitted: "I won't eat for a few days, locked in the room, and even wanted to give up football."
Tactical dilemma: Manchester United emphasizes defensive discipline and requires the winger to retreat frequently, which completely lost Anthony, who is accustomed to breaking through freely.
He said: "At Manchester United, I can't feel the joy of playing football. I often say to my brother, 'I can't hold on anymore', but no one understands my pain."
Betis saved him: he was allowed to "be yourself" here
After joining Betis on loan in January this year, Anthony's fate quietly changed.
Coach's trust: coach Pellegrini said to him: "Forget those criticisms, you just need to fight for the fans." La Liga pays more attention to the technical style, allowing him to regain the spirituality of Brazilian football.
The power of family: Wife Carol brought her son to Spain, "Every day after training, she rushed over and called her dad, this is my motivation."
Data recovery: 8 goals were scored in half a season, 4 key passes from Europa League were converted into scores, and fans exclaimed, "That Samba boy is back."
He laughed with tears: "Betis made me find myself. Now every time I step on the lawn, I can hear a voice in my heart saying - this is football!"
bombarded Manchester United: The system was chaotic + public opinion violence, how many geniuses have they ruined?
Anthony's experience uncovers the deep problems in Manchester United's locker room:
Sky-high signings = blaming tool: In order to calm public opinion, the management has pushed the entire responsibility to the players. "A worth of 95 million is not my fault, but they make me feel that everything is my problem."
"Four Dislikes" of tactics: you have to learn from Guardiola to control the ball, and you have to play Mourinho to defend against the enemy, and finally become "Anthony takes the blame in the circle."
Contrary: Sancho was banned for public conflicts, Anthony suffered double scolding for "non-household registration book", fans were heartbroken: "Manchester United specializes in destroying spirit ball players!"
Spanish media commented sharply: "At Manchester United, geniuses will only become patients with depression; at Betis, depressed patients have become geniuses."
Rebirth Revelation: Some leave for a better return
Now Anthony is slapping Manchester United with actions in the face -
European Union Finals: He will play Fiorentina as a core identity, and Spanish media predicted: "His change of direction will be a winner."
The future is promising: Betis has started buying out negotiations, and Manchester United may have to pay 50% of the salary, and this "the most loss-making deal in Premier League history" has become a laughing stock again.
Soul Awakening: "I finally understand that football is not a tool to please others, but a stage to express love."
fans support: "Manchester United is not worthy of your talent! Go to La Liga to get the Golden Boots, let the Red Devils regret it!"
(Conclusion)
When Anthony breaks through the sunshine of Seville, the food in the Manchester United canteen is still hard to swallow. This story tells us: Instead of sinking in the wrong system, it is better to bloom in the soil that suits you. At least now, the Anthony who can play football with a smile is finally back.
