REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA — Manchester United (MU) coach Erik ten Hag hopes that Antony’s good performance from the last three matches with a collection of one goal and one assist will continue when MU meets Liverpool at Old Trafford, Sunday (7/4/2024) at 21.30 WIB.
Ten Hag gave Antony the confidence to appear as a starter in the match against Chelsea, Friday (5/4/2024) early morning WIB. The Brazilian winger performed satisfactorily for the full 90 minutes.
Playing on the right wing in that match, Antony caused problems for the left side of the Blues defense throughout the match, with a brilliant assist for Alejandro Garnacho’s second goal.
“I know he can do it. “I’ve seen it often, when I was Ajax manager,” said Ten Hag, quoted from the club’s official website, Sunday.
In the match against Chelsea, Ten Hag was satisfied with his right wing’s performance, saying “Last night, I saw the Antony I wanted to see”.
On the same occasion, the Dutch coach viewed the duel against Liverpool as a match where mistakes like the previous two matches should not be repeated. MU was held to a draw by Brentford 1-1 and lost to Chelsea 3-4 which made the Reds Devils lose a total of five points in the final minutes of the match.
He said his team had to get full points to catch the top four, who are now 12 points behind Aston Villa. Although at the same time his team is experiencing a central defender crisis after being left behind by Victor Lindelof, Lisandro Martinez, Jonny Evans and Raphael Varane.
“This week we lost five points in extra time and that was very expensive. Points are becoming very expensive as the game is running out and we know it. “We have to catch up and are now many points behind,” he said.
“It will be difficult but we will keep fighting and I’m sure you saw our team, they have character,” he added.
