Although the performance of this season's Premier League "promotion horse" Brentford is not outstanding, it is currently hovering on the verge of relegation, and it is urgent to work hard for relegation to grab points, but in fact, in terms of the strength of the team's personnel, it can avoid becoming a "relegation favorite" for the Premier League powers, and the performance of individual players in the squad has also surprised many people, and the league has won three yuan in a row, helping the team to break the team at the end of the list Norwich and the scorer Ivan Tony has become the first player in the history of the team to play a hat-trick in the Premier League.
The 25-year-old Ivan Tony made his debut at the age of 16 in his hometown team Northampton, and with his outstanding performance, in addition to getting more and more opportunities to play, gradually becoming the main force in the team's front line, it attracted the attention of many Championship and even Premier League teams, and as a result, he was signed by Premier League team Newcastle United in the summer of 2015. Due to his young age at the time and never played in the top league, Ivan Tony did not get much opportunity to play at the beginning of his arrival, only playing two games for the Northeast team in the Premier League, and most of the rest of the time could only play for the reserve group; then began to live a career of "Ronin" who was constantly loaned out, successively to barnsley, Schlusbury Town, Scanthorpe, Wigan Athletic and other lower league teams, and in early 2018, he loaned out again to Skanthorpe, who was in League One at the time. Showed good goal-scoring ability, and his performance was greatly improved by the former, attracting a number of lower league teams, coupled with Newcastle United's hopes to sell it to cash out, resulting in another team in League One at the time, Peterborough United, signed for £650,000 in the summer of 2018, officially leaving the North East team. After joining Peterborough United, Ivan Tony became an indispensable and important player in the team's forward line, and has the ability to improve season by season, becoming the team's top scorer for two consecutive seasons, although he failed to lead Peterborough United back to the Championship during his two seasons, his outstanding performance was unanimously recognized by all walks of life, and he was selected as the best 11-man team in the League One Quarterly League and the Best Player of the League One Season.
With his performance in League One, Ivan Tony attracted the attention of many Championship teams, and as a result, brentford, the top champions league team, signed for £5 million last season, including a floating clause of about £5 million, so his transfer fee could be as high as £10 million. At that time, Brentford, who was determined to win promotion to the Premier League, had two main strikers, Benahma and Ollie Watkins, leave the team and switch to two Premier League teams, West Ham United and Aston Villa, respectively, which caused the team's feared "BMW" striker combination in recent years to be torn apart, leaving only the French striker Brian Mbemo who remained in the team, so he immediately signed Ivan Tony, who had proved himself in League One, to supplement his strength. After Ivan Tony came to this West London team, he quickly integrated into the team and became the offensive core of the team's frontcourt, and the partner Brian Mbemo formed a double arrow, which produced a very large chemical effect, with a quite ideal effect, showing a sharper sense of shooter touch than in League One, helping the team to successfully advance to the final of the promotion play-off, and scored a goal in the final, leading the team to beat Swansea City, and finally fulfilling the dream of rising to the Premier League; and Ivan Tony scored 31 goals in the league throughout the season. In addition to becoming the top scorer of last season's Championship, he also became the player with the most goals in a single season in the history of the Championship.
This season Ivan Tony played in the Premier League with the team, although the team retained most of the promotion heroes and did not expand the army, most of the time can only hover in the lower part of the league list, but in fact, the overall performance is not bad, against the strong team performance is not rude, the squad of individual players also have a profound performance, and Ivan Tony is one of them, although the shooter has been absent for a period of time due to injury this season, and has been criticized or even punished for not speaking out of the field, but during his absence, the team's scoring ability has been greatly reduced Although the team has previously lost 6 consecutive league games, Ivan Tony is clearly in a brave state, and when he plays in the league, he plays a hat trick even more, in addition to helping the team to end the losing streak, he has become the first player in the history of the team to play a hat trick in the Premier League, and it is also the first time in the history of the team to "wear a hat" in the Premier League, which shows that Ivan Tony's play is the key to Brentford's success in relegation this season.
