Antony is over the moon after winning the Olympics with Brazil. Initially, Ajax did not allow him to travel to Japan. Now the club gets a winner back.
Antony is happy that Ajax has still taken a flexible position. “I will never forget this gold medal win for the rest of my life. I am very grateful to Ajax that I was allowed to participate in the Olympic Games. I think I represented my club well and they can be proud. This medal is also for them he says to The Telegraph.
The intention is that Antony will quickly rejoin Ajax. “I’m flying back to Amsterdam this week to join the team. I’ve earned a few days off to enjoy this achievement with the family.”
Winning the Olympics can be off Antony’s bucket list. Now the next target awaits. “Performing in the Champions League. I had the chance to play on that podium in my first season and at that very high level I hope to show more and more of myself. The World Cup is also on my list of priorities. It would be a dream to play for Brazil in Qatar. And I’m going to work hard for that.”
