Anthony Martial was once the golden boy held by Manchester United in the palm of his hand, and I don't know when it started, he lost the smile on his face, his performance on the field became worse and worse, and he gradually lost his starting position.
In an interview, he claimed that it was purely unknown to outsiders, but admitted: "I lost my love of football at Manchester United."
In September 2015, Martial moved from Monaco to Manchester United for a transfer fee of £58 million, breaking the record for transfer fees for under-20s at the time. After joining the team, he quickly integrated into the team, scoring 11 league goals, scoring a total of 17 goals in various competitions, all of which were the first in the team of the season, and he was always smiling on his face at that time.
How to expect that the next season the Red Devils helmsman will be replaced by Mourinho, And Martial will gradually change from the starter to the bench, and the performance will begin to slip. After surviving Mourinho's tenure, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's playing time has become more and his performance has improved, but he was plagued by intermittent injuries last season, and he was reimbursed for the season in March, and returned to the familiar bench this season. He may have had enough, and when Lonnick took office, he said to the other party without saying a word, "I want to go."
"Lonnick said to me, 'If you want to stay, in the way you train, if you can maintain this level, you're going to get a chance to play.'" But I want to change to a new environment and go to another team." Martial was loaned to La Liga team Sevilla as desired, and on the 51st, he was about to accompany the team to West Ham United, and he once again put a sunny smile on his face, and Martial did not think much of it, "It's just that people don't know me, sometimes you see me not smiling, if you ask people who know me, you know that I am always laughing." 」
"Not smiling when I got to the stadium doesn't reflect my mood. I'm just focused and trying to be the best I can be. People can have their ideas, and I'm OK." He doesn't care what other people think, time is not waiting for anyone, unconsciously he is 26 years old, And Martial just wants to play football well.
"For me, the best option is to play and enjoy football again." He admits, "When I was in Manchester, I lost my love of football a little bit because I didn't get a chance to play." In fact, even if Anthony Martial is relegated to a substitute, there are still many opportunities to play, and the sudden sharp decline in his level is still a mystery, and Manchester United has accused of discipline problems on the sidelines, which led to a decline in Martial's performance.
Coming to Spain, changing the environment, everything is good, "I feel good in Sevilla, this city is great, we are a good team, it is perfect for me. I'm playing football, so I'm happy." However, Happy had a deadline, and he only loaned out until the end of the season.
Martial set a goal to participate in the Qatar World Cup final at the end of the year, "That's why I'm here, I want to play football... I need to show my ability to score goals." Spain is very different from England's football style, and Martial is trying to adapt on and off the pitch, "I try to adapt, try to enjoy it."
Sevilla's Return to West Ham united at 4 p.m. on Thursday will be Martial's first return to England on loan in nearly two months. Just after recovering from injury in the first leg, he came off the bench for 15 minutes, and Sevilla won 1-0. Eager to regain his enthusiasm for the game, he once again showed his skills in front of the British fans.
