Having gone from Golden Boy 2015 to replacement in the Mexican championship, Anthony Martial is not really achieving the career that was promised to him. After a mixed experience with AEK Athens (9 goals and 2 assists in 23 matches), the 29-year-old striker is trying to relaunch his career in Liga MX with the Monterrey club.

With 173 minutes played in four games, the former Monegasque and Mancunian has still not scored with his new team. An adaptation time a little too long for the Mexican press, which is already tackling the ex-Olympique Lyonnais player.

“He has snowshoes on his feet”

The least we can say is that the media are not kind to Anthony Martial. Starting with AS Mexicowhich opens the ball. “The Frenchman can't find the net, and it's already been eight months since he scored a single goal. In his last match, Anthony Martial missed an obvious scoring opportunity which cost Monterrey the victory against Xolos. »

On the side of Recordwe ask ourselves: “Why did we bring him here?” »while journalist Willie Gonzalez prefers to bring a touch of humor to the criticism. “
I think this guy has his cleats on backwards. He has snowshoes on his feet. All the balls bounce on him. »
The Monterrey striker will have to wait until October 19, and a match against UNAM, to hope to open his account.
