Long time no see! Anthony knocked on De Gea s ten fingers in the world and left Manchester United and did a good job

In the early morning of May 2, a focus match was staged in the first leg of the 2024/25 European Union semi-finals. Real Betis defeated the visiting Fiorentina 2-1 at home and took the lead in the two-leg series. In this game, the two Manchester United abandoned players Anthony and De Gea started on behalf of the two teams respectively. As a result, the former broke through the ten fingers of his former teammates with a counter-foot world wave and continued his outstanding performance.

Both teams have been in very good shape recently. Fiorentina has been unbeaten in 9 games in all competitions, and Betis has only lost 1 game in 12 games in the past two months, and has entered the Champions League zone in the La Liga standings. In this game, Betis' possession rate was slightly behind, but the offensive threat was higher than that of Purple Lily, who played away. In the 8 minutes of the game, Abude shot from the penalty area and bounced into the goal, giving Betis a fantastic start. In the 49th minute, De Gea made a god-level save to ensure the goal was not lost. However, in the 64th minute, the goal he guarded was once again lost. At that time, Betis made a wonderful counterattack. Anthony's right foot volley in the penalty area made a super world wave. The ball was in a dead corner, as strong as De Gea was beyond the reach of this goal.

However, Zi Lily, who was behind 2 goals, did not give up. In the 72nd minute, Ranieli scored a goal in the penalty area, regaining a goal, retaining hope for the team to reverse and advance. In the following time, both sides went back and forth but neither scored, and the score was finally frozen at 2-1.

In this game, Betis had a 45% ball possession rate, scored 2 goals with 14 shots and 5 excellent scoring opportunities were wasted 4 times. Fiorentina, who played away, scored 1 goal with 7 shots and 2 shots. Anthony played the game in this game, contributing the highest three shots and scoring one goal. In addition, he also successfully broke through 1 time, crossed 2 times, scored a successful top 1 time, scored a steal and interception 2 times, and won 3 times in 7 times, with a pass success rate of up to 90%. After the game, the Brazilian winger scored the second highest score of the team with 7.6 points, which is well deserved.

And although his former teammate De Gea lost, he performed well. He sent out the game's highest 4 long passes and completed three saves. Especially when Bartra headed the ball hard in the 49th minute of the second half, De Gea's reaction ability and agility were still impressive.

Judging from his performance after leaving Manchester United, Anthony and De Gea both had a good life. After joining Betis on loan this season, the former immediately became the absolute main force of the team. He has played in 19 games in various games and has achieved 6 goals and 4 assists. His ability to pass, organize, cut in, and even press on the right winger has benefited Betis a lot. Before he joined, Betis ranked only 10th in the La Liga standings. After Anthony arrived, Betis scored 22 points in 12 rounds of games and is expected to make his first appearance in the Champions League in team history.

De Gea played for Manchester United for 12 seasons, but because his technical characteristics did not meet the needs of then-head coach Ten Hach, he was forced to choose to leave after the contract ended in July 2023. Last summer, De Gea, who had been unemployed for one year, got a chance to take up his post in Fiorentina and became the team's main goalkeeper. So far, he has played in 36 games for Purple Lily and completed 11 clean sheets. Fiorentina has started negotiations for renewal with him, and his old club Manchester United has also been revealed to be interested in bringing him back to Old Trafford this summer. However, from the moment, it is better for De Gea to stay in Purple Lily.
