This season, Brazil international Anthony moved to La Liga on loan and joined Real Betis. In 20 games, Anthony scored 7 goals and had 4 assists. It is reported that Anthony will return to Manchester United on June 30.

According to relevant sources, Manchester United priced Anthony 50 million euros, and Manchester United hopes to introduce Yorke to the price of trading Anthony. Atletico Madrid currently hopes that the Brazil international can join the team. Simeone believes that Anthony, a player who runs actively and has excellent breakthrough ability, is the current urgent need of Atletico Madrid.

entered Manchester United and opened high and ended low. In the previous 14 games, only 1 goal

Anthony debuted in Ajax. When he was in Ajax, he was a fast horse on the wing, able to break through, pass the ball, score goals, and have the ability to score direct free kicks.

He scored his first record for the team in his first game of arrival at Manchester United. After cutting in the rib space, it took a long shot with a curved ball, which is what Anthony is best at scoring.

But as time goes by, Anthony's form fluctuates and scores fewer and fewer goals. The problem of his lack of ability to reverse his body is gradually exposed. He made 14 appearances for Manchester United this season, scoring only one goal.

After Anthony entered La Liga, he became the absolute main player and core on the court at Real Betis. Anthony made an indelible contribution to Real Betis being able to reach the finals in the UEFA United League. In addition, Real Betis is expected to qualify for the Champions League next season. At least in Anthony, "Tree moves to die, people move to live" is obviously fulfilled.

Anthony is worth 50 million euros. Can Atletico bring him into the championship puzzle?

From the current point of view, Anthony's value is a premium of 100 million, but 50 million is definitely a great value. If Atletico Madrid introduces him, can it strengthen the championship puzzle?

Anthony's characteristics are very clear. On the one hand, he has the ability to shoot from a long shot, has good ability to combine the man and ball, and has a strong forward speed. At the same time, he can quickly counterattack after conceding the ball. If Atletico Madrid introduced him to make him a "engineer" on the wing in the game, maybe it can be expected.

But Anthony's ability to confront is insufficient, which is somewhat inconsistent with Atletico Madrid's emphasis on high-intensity confrontation and the way people-to-people play. Therefore, if Atletico Madrid spends 50 million to introduce him, it is likely to be just a rotation player.

After the match between Ajax, Manchester United and Real Betis, Anthony's positioning should be gradually clear. This is a player that can be the core of a second-tier or second-rate team, but it is absolutely difficult to become a top team that can trust. Atletico Madrid spent 50 million yuan and may just introduce a substitute player. Whether the deal is worth it when the recruitment funds are not sufficient will require a question mark.
