On the 10th (Korean time), Anthony stood up proudly saying, “It’s something I’ve always done” through the official Manchester United website.
‘Anthony started his life with United. He vowed to keep the crowd entertained. He also explained, ‘He commented on his skills and tricks.’
Anthony said, “I’ve always been like that. I’ve been doing it since I was a kid. It’s one of my characteristics. I’m already adjusting to this place. I like to have fun. I will continue to do it in the future.”
Antony is a Brazilian striker that United paid Ajax for a transfer fee of 100 million euros (regarding 139 billion won) this summer. Last 5 days before Arsenal, he played his first game in a Manchester United jersey. He took the lead in the 3-1 victory, scoring the opening goal.
There were scenes that caused as much attention as the goal before debut.
In the opposing half, in front of Arsenal defender Oleksandr Zinchenko, he showed off a dazzling trick that had nothing to do with breaking through. British ‘Mirror’ pointed out that ‘Anthony performed unnecessary stunts’. It’s called showboating. Show-voting refers to the act of excessively showing off skills that are not necessary for the progress of the game.
Former Ajax manager Henk ten Kate has warned that Anthony should be careful with back tackles. “In England, that would cut your ankle,” Kate said. “If I were his manager, I would have told him to stop.”
Legendary Manchester United full-back commentator Gary Neville was also concerned regarding Anthony. “If you do that once more, you might get kicked in the air,” Neville said.
Anthony is a key player in the Eric Tenhach management system. Anthony and Jaden Sancho took the left and right flanks, with Marcus Rashford moving up to the striker. Cristiano Ronaldo has stepped down as an assistant.
Anthony showed his respect, saying, “Cristiano is the best in the world. Words can’t describe it. I’ve learned a lot in just a few days. His mind is really extraordinary. I learn every time I tell a story.”
