The Manchester United winger Antony is shown fighting back tears in a trailer for an upcoming series on his life while discussing going through “a lot of hardship.”
The Brazilian joined the Red Devils from Ajax a year ago for £85.5 million.
Antony began to cry as they were filming.
The winger broke down in tears as he talked about his native country.
Antony, 23, began his career in Sao Paulo, Brazil, before moving to Ajax in 2020.
In the upcoming two-part film “It All Starts With a Dream,” Antony is shown crying as he recalls his early years in what looks to be his old neighborhood.
He has previously talked of growing up in Sao Paulo’s “little hell” area of Inferninho, where drug sales and homicides were frequent occurrences.
In the 433 clip that Puma shown, the Brazil international described himself as “a boy who struggled a lot.”
“A boy who went through a lot of hardship.”
Speaking of his hometown, he went on, “I will carry this place here, for the rest of my life,” while crying.
He is seen visiting local kids and using his unique spin technique in the quick climax.
In an unsuccessful Euroleague match against FC Sheriff last year, Antony unleashed a spectacular double-spin.
The accomplishment was completed just before halftime in the 38th minute when manager Erik ten Hag hooked him.
Man United fans recently shouted, “It should be Antony,” after it was reported that Facundo Pellistri was going on loan to Sheffield United.
“It should be Antony leaving ffs,” another person said.
Another yelled, “I’d prefer to borrow Antony.”
“Send Antony there,” said the third person.
Puma is presenting the Antony movie.
The Brazilian posed alongside many kids.
Additionally, he executed his signature spinning maneuver.
