English football was deprived of a sensation, small details separated Coventry from a big turnaround, a victory – a goal disallowed in extra time, only to lose in a penalty shootout – and a place in the FA Cup final. Manchester United slipped through, and Antony was in the center of attention. Not because he did something worth mentioning on the field, but because of his scandalous behavior.As Harry Maguire approached all the Coventry players to shake hands and congratulate them on their manly performance, the Brazilian winger taunted them. He gestured inappropriately by putting his hands over his ears. Once again, he incurred the wrath of the public, but not only the English public. He found himself criticed also by the Dutch, who are closely following the events at the struggling giants from Old Trafford because of Erik ten Hag.Retirement days can be boring, if you don’t find a job for yourself. Wesley Sneijder doesn’t really know what to do with himself. His biggest occupation, if not the only one, is guest appearances on various televisions. Here and there he gets a little media attention, but also the opportunity to call out footballers and officials.##NAJAVA_MECA_8056321##He advocated that Dusan Tadić be thrown out of Ajax, he also attacked Edwin van der Sar, and Antony is his new victim.”Antony should be ashamed of what he did, he should have just left the field after that. I hope that Manchester United will lose 5-0 in the final”, said Wesley Sneijder, and Khalid Boulahrouz was even harsher:”What Antony did is pathetic. He was bought for 100,000,000 euros and every game his pants are full of sh*t. He has zero goals and one assist this season.”Boulahrouz missed a bit, Antony’s statistics are slightly better – two goals and the same number of assists this season. But essentially, he is not wrong. Shameful and devastating statistics of a man who was paid 95,000,000 euros and so far has shown nothing.The behavior is a separate story, and Neil Maupay also used the opportunity to get at the Brazilian winger.”Even I wouldn’t do this,” wrote Brentford striker, who has had his fair share of controversial moves.As delusional as it gets: Ten Hag claims media reaction to FA Cup win over Coventry were embarrassing and disgraceAntony tried to reply the critics, however, he failed. The footage went around the world. And what was the reason and whether there really was one – it is hardly anyone’s interest.”The way their player treated our fans was not nice, so I reacted to the provocations and stood up for my club,” Antony said.And while the Brazilian struggled to change his image, Marcus Rashford was also on the Dutchman’s wallpaper. Not because of any inappropriate gestures, but because of his ‘absence’ from the field. He is nowhere to be ssen. He does not contribute.”I saw Rashford playing against Coventry, what did that guy do?” asked Marco van Basten and continued:”It was an incredible sight. He didn’t sprint once, he didn’t do anything with the ball, he didn’t even try anything. He sent each one back. It looks like he is playing football in the neighborhood with his friends.”
