After the opening goal in MU’s easy win, Antony said he was just trying to improve himself, not trying to please anyone.
Antony shared after the goal against Everton
Since arriving at MU for £ 85 million, Antony has not shown too much. Physical problems make the Brazilian striker unable to play regularly in the MU squad. After returning from the World Cup, Antony was also not in the best shape and had to wait until the match against Everton in the FA Cup, the former Ajax star had a goal.
Antony has faced many criticisms, even criticisms during the past time. The goal against Everton means a lot to this striker when helping Antony relieve the pressure he has suffered during the past time.
Sharing with TNT Sports Brazil after the match, Antony said: “I am very grateful that the club, teammates and coach have been with me throughout the past time. I am very happy to finally regain the feeling of scoring, Especially a goal at home.
I also feel like I have regained the energy I need. I’ve had some issues lately, but I won’t talk too much about what I’ve been through since it’s a personal story. But I am also grateful that God is always by my side and motivating me.
I am always 100% focused on bringing joy and good results to the club and the fans. Man Utd’s position is undisputed and I and my teammates always want to bring the club back to the place it deserves. I always ask myself to try, no matter what others say. Even God can’t please everyone, why should I?
Coach Erik ten Hag knows my ability, also knows how hard I have practiced. He knows that I always try to be 100% at my best, even if the results are not what I want. He also understood where I was born and raised, and how hard it was to survive in the slums of Brazil. Having such support is important and valuable.”
Antony’s return is essential for MU at this time. In the context that Ronaldo has left, Martial is fluttering, Sancho has not returned, Antony regaining the feeling of scoring will help coach Erik ten Hag have more options in the next matches.
