The Premier League legend and former Manchester United defender Wes Brown has compared the young prodigy Antony‘s left foot to a class of legends including three big names from the Footballing world. Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona, and Arjen Robben are the ones whose left foot has been compared.

“Antony’s left foot is like Messi and Maradona, ultimately, the left foot is a wand, he’s got great skill, great composure. You know he’s going to cut in, but I’m telling you, not many people have stopped it yet,” Brown said and compared to Top Rated Casinos.

“Arjen Robben is probably the best comparison, he always used to cut in and he rarely went down the line as well. But he’s just sharp, knows what he’s doing, confident in what he’s doing, and is sometimes difficult to mark.” the former player praises Antony with a healthy comparison in the style of play between him and Robben.

Like most professional footballers across Europe, it’s Antony has the same story as much of his miserable life was deprived of happiness in his early stage of life before becoming a professional footballer at Manchester United. The player has come up with his emotional story.

The Brazilian said, “I didn’t have boots to play football. I didn’t have a bedroom, I slept on the sofa.” This clearly shows the struggle one has to face when you’re poor and deprived of luxuries in life, and something as minimum as a football boot.

Antony further mentioned, “my brother, sister, and I would cry and hug each other thinking about our lives.” The Brazilian had a tough life to deal with but eventually got out of it tougher. Strong as a bull making his way into the Premier League one of the top leagues in World football.
