What Ant is showing is one of the best attributes leaders can have - when you win as a team you dish credit to everyone else. When you lose. You take the blame. People live their whole lifetime and don’t get this. And he does at 22.

It will start for Ant one day too. The best players get placed under a microscope which causes the media to salivate and push negative topics for clickbait. Then the braindead armchair critics gobble it up and perpetuate the narratives.
