“Let’s say I’m a striker and Antony plays on the right wing. I’d go crɑzy because I never get a pass from his weak foot ,” said Andy Cole.
Antony was criticized by a series of legends.
“When I run into the box, I wouldn’t expect anything from Antony either. He will always pass with his left foot. Football has evolved and the wingers need to play with more variety”, former “Red Devils” striker emphasized.
Antony has long been known as a “one-footed” player. When the former Ajax star has the ball, fans can easily predict the next situation. The 100 million euro contract often passes back or moves to cut into the middle, then shoots with his dominant foot.
Antony missed unbelievable match against Everton
Recently, coach Erik ten Hag has tried to overcome Antony’s weakness by swapping his position with Marcus Rashford. Only on the right wing, Antony can make crosses comfortably.
Earlier, Paul Scholes also criticized Antony as a “clown”. However, the Brazilian player also responded after scoring against Everton in October 2022. It was also the last time the former Ajax star scored for the host team in the Premier League.
