The meaning of Anthony’s ceremony was revealed.
Manchester United defeated Arsenal 3-1 in Round 6 of the 2022-23 season English Premier League (EPL) held at Old Trafford, Manchester, England on the 5th at 0:30 am (Korean time). With three points, United overtook Chelsea to move up to fifth place in the Premier League, continuing their four-game winning streak.
The opening goal was scored by Manchester United freshman Anthony. In the 35th minute, Christian Eriksen sent a pass to Bruno Fernandes. Bruno stumbled over a tackle from Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalliangs, but the referee declared an advantage. The ball was caught by Jadon Sancho, who passed it to Marcus Rashford in front of the box. Rashford gave the ball to Anthony, who had penetrated the right-hand side of the box, and Antony cut Arsenal’s net with a calm finish. It was his debut goal in Anthony’s Manchester United debut.
Manchester United conceded an equalizer to Bukayo Saka, but Rashford scored in the 21st and 30th minutes of the second half to win the match, continuing the good mood recently.
Anthony became a hot topic following scoring four kinds of celebrations. Shortly following his goal, he grabbed the Manchester United emblem attached to his jersey, waved it, and pointed his finger at the sky. Then, he showed the ceremony of putting the ball into the uniform and the roaring, so-called ‘tiger ceremony’.
There was one more thing. Anthony’s main ceremony is to make the letter “L” with both hands and kiss with his right hand. Ajax fans are likely to be more familiar with this ceremony because it was a ceremony held a lot during the Ajax days.
The meaning of Anthony’s ceremony was revealed. British ‘Talk Sports’ said: “Anthony’s son’s name is Lisandro, so this ceremony is dedicated to his son. But it’s not just his son that Anthony likes. There is also a 7-year-old girl named Larissa,” and introduced the story of Anthony and Larissa.
“Anthony met Larissa in São Paulo in 2019. Larisa is currently battling cancer. Anthony even shaved his head to support Larissa’s battle with the disease.” Anthony also appeared on the club’s official channel with Larissa during his time at Ajax.
Unfortunately, fans did not see this ceremony in Anthony’s debut goal scene. However, the media expected Anthony’s performance, saying, “If you think regarding Anthony’s debut goal, we will see this ceremony soon.”
