Hi there, welcome back to GoalNiza channel. Surprisingly shining in the intense match
against Everton last Monday, Athony is now the most mentioned name in many football forums.
He is just what United need: he is a creative skillful left footed winger that can cross.
Ronaldo has to teach him how to transform from a tricky winger to a world class player.
In today’s video, let’s find out some facts about his life and career in 2022.
Antony was born in 2000 to his mother, Cremilda Prudencio and father, Mr dos Santos,
at the municipality of Osasco, in São Paulo State, Brazil. He came to the world as the
last born child, out of three children born of the marital union between his parents.
He has a brother named Emerson Santos and a little known sister. Despite growing up in
a difficult environment surrounded by crime, he was able to focus on football. Growing up,
he would play football wherever he could, on the streets or in his house, combining his love of
futsal with street football and attending So Paulo matches with his aunt every day.
Antony is currently married to Rosilene Xavier who was born in 1999. His wife really prefers a
life without social networks. She used to be an Instagram star with more than 100k
followers but she deleted her account after several years of dating Anothy. The couple have
been together since 2010 when they were teenagers in Brazil . Their relationship started when Antony
was still trying to learn the basics of being a footballer at the Sao Paulo youth team. Despite
growing up together as lovers, they decided to marry each other in private. The couple have a
son named Lorenzo born in 2019. Antony, his wife and his son are big fans of seaside vacations.
They often spend a week before a new season going for a holiday near the sandy beaches.
Antony began playing football at a young age and was quickly noticed by So Paulo, who offered him a
contract in 2010, aged 10, and inducted him into their youth academy. Antony struggled for game
time during his youth years and was on the verge of being dismissed from the club's youth ranks,
but the staff persuaded his manager to keep him. He spent three seasons
in So Paulo, scoring 6 goals in 52 games. In February 2020, Ajax signed Antony on a
five-year deal, effective from 1 July 2020, for an initial £13 million. Here he scored 25 goals in 82
games and won 2 Eredivisie titles and 1 KNVB Cup. After impressing with Ajax, Antony sparked the
interest of Manchester United, who signed him in September 2022 for a transfer worth
€95 million , the most ever paid for a player leaving the Eredivisie.
As for his international career, Antony won a gold medal with the Brazil under-23
team at the 2020 Summer Olympics. He scored on his senior international debut against
Venezuela in October 2021. So far he has been playing 11 games for the national team.
As of 2022, his net worth is estimated at $7
million which mainly comes from his football career.
According to ESPN, Antony has established himself in Manchester by moving into Pogba's
former mansion in Hale Barns, Cheshire. The house has five bedrooms and five bathrooms.
The property also includes a gym, heated swimming pool, and sauna,
all of which are important features for Antony's fitness. The house also has a game room with a
well-kept pool table. In an interview with ESPN, Antony revealed that Pogba's pool table with
his initials PP is still in his living room, but that he plans to transform the house next month.
Antony has 2 cars in his collection. The first car is Mercedes Benz AMG S500
which cost him $110,000. S500 claims the top spot in the super luxury car class,
thanks in part to its mix of interior quality, seating space and comfort,
poised driving dynamics, and cutting-edge tech and safety features.
The second car he has is Porsche Cayenne which cost him around $72,000. This car is a great SUV.
With an array of mighty engines and a dialed-in suspension, this German luxury midsize SUV
delivers sports-car-worthy performance. It's fast and agile, yet it maintains a cushioned ride. It
can reach a top speed of 152 mph. Antony
was born in Brazil, even plays for the national team but he has Portuguese origins. Because his
grandparents were Portuguese who moved to Brazil for a living. Now this was a long time ago,
so we don’t have so much information about this. The next fact you might not know that Dani Alves
recommended him to Barcelona. You know why? Because they were teammate in Sao Paolo,
playing together in the club level and in the Olympic competitions, so Dani knows him
very well and always praises him, especially advised him to get a spot in the Camp Nou.
It’s widely known that he is a really good footballer, but he is also good at writing.
At the age of 19, he had already written his own book called “From Overcoming A Real Dream”.
The book is a diary about pressure to become a rising star
in Brazil. In his book, he detailed the issue of Sao Paulo youth.
