What s the problem? Gallish and Anthony both welcomed new life after leaving Manchester City

Once upon a time, the years between Gallish and Anthony at Manchester City and Manchester United were shrouded in doubt and silence. Now, they each embark on a new journey, but have staged an amazing transformation in different fields - from "fringemen" to "key gentlemen", these two players are using their dazzling performance to write their own rebirth chapter. In the summer of 2025, Jack Gallish bid farewell to Manchester City on loan, moved to Goodison Park, and joined Everton. This decision was seen by many as a career adventure, but only a month later, he proved with his undisputed performance: it was a turning point in fate.

In the first two rounds of the Premier League 2025/26 season, Gallish almost revitalized Everton's offense with his own strength. In the opening game against Brighton, he contributed two key assists at the new home Hill Dickinson Stadium, helping the team win 2-0; then facing the fierce battle between Wolves, he participated in all three goals and directed a thrilling reversal of 3-2. He directly participated in all four goals, setting a record for Everton's first time in the history of a player who contributed at least two assists in two consecutive Premier League games.

With such a stunning start, Galish beat top stars such as Salah and Haaland and won the Premier League's Best Player in August. This is the first time he has won this honor in his career and the first player to win this award since Dominic Calvert Lewin in 2020.

From being questioned about "artistic midfielder" when he was at Manchester City to becoming the absolute core of the Toffees' offense now, Glalish not only regained his confidence, but also became the team's spiritual leader. His dribbling, vision and creativity are igniting this club that longs for revival.

If Gallish's rebirth is an explosion at the competitive level, then Anthony's transformation is a comprehensive "counterattack".

The Brazilian winger, who was once famous for his "high salary and low ability" at Manchester United, transferred to La Liga powerhouse Real Betis for 21.5 million euros before the 2025 summer transfer window closed. Now, Anthony has swept the courts and malls with amazing influence.

During the loan period last season, at the competitive level, he quickly integrated into the team system and won the trust of the coach with his speed, breakthroughs and active running. Off the court, his influence grew explosively - Betis' social media followers surged by more than 200,000, the number of club video views soared by 101.2%, and the interaction rate increased by 86%.

What's even more amazing is that Betis keenly captures Anthony's personal brand value. The iconic "Iluminado" tattoo on his neck was created into a new fashion series: T-shirts, hoodies and other peripheral products sold well, each priced at 24.95 euros, and the profit was shared with Anthony. This move not only set a precedent for the commercialization of La Liga players' IP, but also demonstrated his gorgeous turn from "people on the court" to "cultural symbol".

It is worth mentioning that Anthony accepted a relatively low salary, but in exchange for the right to obtain the copyright of the commodity. This choice shows his repositioning and long-term planning of his self-worth.

The story of Gallish and Anthony is surprisingly similar: in the original system, they failed to fully release their potential due to tactical discomfort, psychological pressure, or external harshness. Once they leave the spotlight of the wealthy family and change the environment, trust, and a set of suitable tactics, they will be reborn like a phoenix and reborn. This also gives inspiration to all players in the trough: Sometimes, what changes are not abilities, but the stage.
