2 world waves in 2 games, Anthony shed tears in Fiorentina! Manchester United abandoned the European final and met with Chelsea

Football

He was once a super winger signed by Manchester United for a sky-high price of 95 million euros. He is recognized as the number one "round god" in football; he is also the "square-in-one representative" mentioned by Premier League fans. Now, he is reborn in Betis Nirvana, smashing the doubts with one foot after another.

In the early morning of May 9, in the second leg of the European Union semi-finals, Betis played 2-2 against Fiorentina away, and eliminated Purple Lily 4-3 in the total score, and entered the European finals historic! Anthony, who scored 1 goal and assisted once again, became the brightest boy in the game. At the moment of the final whistle, the 25-year-old couldn't help but cover his face and cry, and tears fell on the court. Yuan Shen could cry a lot this time. It was really hard for him. This time, "Yuan Shen" really flew up.

From being ridiculed as a para-square product to the core of the European finals: Looking back at Anthony's experience at Manchester United in the past two and a half years, it can almost be described as "falling to the bottom". Since Teng Hahe ordered him to join for a high price of 95 million euros, Anthony's performance in the Premier League has never met expectations. The slow-paced incision, single technical movements, and disconnected cooperation with his teammates have made him frequently the target of criticism from the media and fans.

He is a "incision circle", a "high-priced bench", and a "most expensive and superfluous person in the Premier League". Even though Manchester United's record is poor and lacks people on the wing, Anthony still cannot escape the fate of the bench - in Teng Hach's eyes, he is already a abandoned player, and the arrival of young coach Amorin, he is still a "useless person", but the gears of fate quietly rotate on January 25, 2025. Betis took action and signed the former Brazilian star on loan. This La Liga loan trip has become a turning point in Anthony's career.

The first leg played against Fiorentina at home. Anthony flew away from the penalty area and scored the iconic world wave. In the second leg, the Brazilian with No. 21 showed his power again: In the 30th minute, Betis received a free kick in the frontcourt, about 25 meters away from the goal. Anthony took the penalty and the left-footed arc ball bypassed the human wall and hit the post and bounced into the net! De Gea sighed at the ball, and there was nothing he could do! After scoring the goal, Anthony slid excitedly and his teammates rushed forward. He was the most shining green light in the game.

In the 97th minute, Betis launched a fast break and the goalkeeper passed by to find Anthony. He rushed forward at high speed, rushed into the right rib of the penalty area after receiving the ball, and then made a precise cross with his right foot. Abud hit the horse and easily pushed the ball to score, and the score was rewritten to 4-3! 1 goal and 1 assist, leading Betis to set the team's history and into the European finals. Their opponent in the European League finals is the Premier League giant Chelsea.

In Betis's three months, Anthony broke out completely, with 8 goals and 5 assists. He is no longer just the monotonous winger who always loves to cut inward, but an offensive combination that forms a chemical reaction with Isco and Lo Celso, and is the most threatening tool for the wing under the coach. Up to now, Anthony has played in various competitions after joining Betis and has scored 8 goals and 5 assists. Among them, he scored 2 consecutive games in two consecutive games in the Europa League and scored 3 goals directly. The fan laughed and said, "This is not Anthony, but the God of the Yuan Dynasty descended to earth, and it is Betis' version of Ronaldo."
