There Were Times I And Family Would Cry And Hug Thinking About Our Lives, We Were So Poor – Anthony...CONTINUE READING
Man United’s new player, Anthony has noted that life was very tough for him and his family at the beginning, and he is happy to have changed the narratives.
While reacting to the media, Anthony noted that it was very difficult for him to come from Brazil and make it big, and he is happy to be where he is now.
He added that he could merely afford football boots back then, and never had a room of his own.
In his words, Anthony stated;
“I didn’t have boots to play football. I didn’t have a bedroom, I slept on the sofa. I lived right in the middle of the favela. There were moments, my brother, sister and I would cry and hug each other thinking about our lives.”
Anthony joined Man United last month from Ajax and has gone ahead to make his debut against Arsenal in the Premier League.
