Antonio, who is now a free agent, spoke about the changing dynamics of the game. He emphasized that players are no longer treated with the same loyalty and respect as they once were. In his opinion, this is a two-way street: while clubs no longer prioritize player loyalty, players should also not feel obligated to be loyal to a club that is prioritizing profits over people.

He continued to say that players are seen as commodities, and that once they start to decline, they are discarded. This is not limited to players, but also affects fans who are priced out of attending games due to increasing ticket prices. Antonio believes that this approach is counterproductive, as it ultimately harms the game and its community.

He emphasized that fans, particularly those who cannot afford to pay high ticket prices, are being unfairly targeted. By increasing prices, clubs are effectively excluding true fans from the game they love.

Antonio's comments reflect a growing sentiment among players and fans that the current state of football is unsustainable and in need of change.

As a player who has experienced the highs and lows of the game, Antonio's perspective offers a unique insight into the challenges facing football today.

His words serve as a reminder that, at the heart of the game, there are people who care deeply about the sport and its community.
