Hupu News on October 10 Recently, Anthony accepted an interview with "Aspen". The Brazilian winger talked about his idol, the Brazilian national team and even the Golden Globe Award. The following is the second half of his interview.

Do you consider the Brazilian national team?

Putting on the national team jersey is always a dream and very important. I played in one World Cup and dreamed of playing in another. I train hard and will continue to do so because coming back is a dream.

Have you spoken to Ancelotti?

Ancelotti communicates with everyone, he is a very good coach and a great person. I believe things will go well.

Vinicius, Martinelli, Rodrigo... The competition is fierce

There are many great players on the front line, but it was the same when I went to the World Cup. It won't make any difference, we all have to perform at the highest level. There are a lot of great players.

But Brazil has been in poor form in recent years

I think it will be different now. Ancelotti has been leading the team for three or four months and everyone is adapting to his style. But the Brazilian national team is the greatest.

What do you think of the controversy over Vinicius and racism?

I am 100% against racism, I don't like these things, my family has experienced it too...

Does this exist in Spain?

I think it happens everywhere, and what happened with Vinicius happened here, and everyone saw it.

Which players are your role models in your career?

Ronaldinho and Neymar are my role models... Later I also played with Cristiano Ronaldo, and I also like Messi very much.

You have similarities with Ronaldo...

I don’t know, there are some things from him that I will learn from. I played football with him and learned a lot. He is one of the best players and, like Messi, has won many Ballon d'Or awards. But Neymar is the most talented I have ever seen.

You are only 25 years old, have you ever thought about the Golden Globe Award?

This is the result of life. I haven’t thought about the Golden Globe Award yet. What I want is to stay in good shape and do things down to earth. But it’s not impossible, you have to dare to dream.

Do you think you can see the best Anthony in Betis?

I still have a lot to improve. I am a very hard-working person and I want to give 100%. The best will come, in order to compete with Betis at the top of the table.

Now the team is in the Champions League

This is a dream, it was last season. But there are still a lot of games and it’s just starting now and we have to keep picking up points.

Is the team better than last season?

I feel like yeah, I feel like we're better prepared this year, so I think we're better.

And Isco...

I spoke to Isco last week and when I was in England, he sent me a message saying he was waiting for me. Now I told him I was waiting for him. We all know how important he is, as captain, as a player, as everything. Hope he returns soon.

Is the Europa League a goal?

We must fight for every event we enter, but we cannot just talk about winning them all. You have to stay humble and keep working hard.

Pablo Garcia is eye-catching, what do you think of him?

He has great potential, I chat with him sometimes, and he deserves more opportunities because he trains very hard and performs very well both in the national team and with us. I communicate with him every chance I get. There are many players with great potential in the Betis academy, although patience will be required with them.

Do you think the transfer fee of 95 million euros is a burden on your career?

No, I am also responsible for some things that happened. There are things people don’t know and can’t see. I had not only bad moments but also good moments in Manchester and I won titles. This is just an experience in my life.

Are you better now?

I feel much more prepared. The bad things I experienced at Manchester United have made my mentality much stronger. Now I pay more attention to the mental aspect, because I know that when my mind is clear, things will go smoothly.
