Anthony: Considering my experience, this time I was selected for the national team is even more exciting than the first time I was selected.

June 11th Manchester United striker Anthony accepted an interview with the media and talked about his thoughts about being selected for the Brazilian national team in this issue.

Anthony said: "This is one of the most exciting moments, and I talked about this with a few friends. This is even more exciting than my first selection. Considering what I have experienced, it is really touching."

"Still the bottom, stay resilient and get back to shape, thank God and my family, they are very important."

"Even though I had no hope during that difficult time, I still remember my previous experiences, and I said to myself 'I haven't forgotten how to play football, I can't play the World Cup for no reason, nor can I be selected for the national team without reason. 'Everything has a reason, this experience is very important to my life because it makes me stronger."
