Antony responds to his price and is already the new star of Ajax

Ajax got ahead of the current economic crisis due to the coronavirus by signing their new star in February, just a couple of weeks after the sale of Ziyech to Chelsea was announced. The transfer was closed in € 15,750,000 that can reach € 21,750,000 in variables. This figure would be capable of hanging the most expensive signing poster in the club's history. But Antony does not understand pressure and has fallen on his feet in Amsterdam.

Those from Ten Hag only know victory in the three games they have played this season and in all of them Antony has been decisive. In fact, has participated in five of the six goals the team has scored. On the first day, with the artificial grass and the rival goalkeeper leaning his shoulder, scored the 1-0 that would give three points to an outnumbered Ajaxto. In the 3-0 Al Waalwijk he created the occasion of the first goal and participated in the start of the play of the second. And this week, in Ajax's toughest game to date, he delivered a key pass to open the scoring and He broke the 1-1 by scoring the goal himself.

He came as a replacement for Ziyech and has held the same position in the eleven, but they are two totally different players. It is more decisive in the area than the Moroccan and, although he is also left-handed, he uses his left leg more to dribble than to hang balls in the area. He doesn't mind getting to the bottom line and his profile points more to that of a second striker than that of a midfielder.

Antony was featured, cost, and arrived like a star and is performing like one. He has eaten his compatriot Neres, who also started the season with options in that position, and no one doubts his position in the starting eleven. The big clubs in Europe will soon be looking at another member of the Vinicius generation.
