Antony was one of the players with the most positive performances in Man Utd’s draw against Liverpool.
Man Utd was highly underestimated when they marched to Anfield in round 17 of the Premier League, mainly due to their fluctuating performance and seriously depleted force.
However, the home team at Old Trafford had a resilient match.
Despite having to endure 34 shots, the red half of Manchester still got 1 point to leave Anfield.
An outstanding contribution to Man Utd’s performance cannot help but mention Antony. This player acts as a shuttle, constantly аttаcking and defending to help Man Utd limit Liverpool’s аttаck power.
It is important to know that Antony had 7 successful tackles in the match – an achievement that no Man Utd player has reached since the beginning of the season until now.
It’s clear that Antony is a quite persistent player, always playing with more than 100% of his ability and consciously following the strategy.
Phil Bardsley, former Man Utd player, said: “Antony’s defensive attitude is excellent and relentless.”
After the match, coach Erik ten Hag also admitted: “Antony has more things to contribute to the team. He can really hurt opponents with his technique, speed and passing ability.”
In fact, Antony is often criticized mainly due to its expensive price tag of up to 100 million euros. However, it must be affirmed that Man Utd has no better nаme than Antony for the right wing position.
Now Antony probably needs a goal to relieve himself. The Brazilian striker’s performance against Liverpool deserves praise.
