The GOAT returns to Real Betis for the second time, and he has been warmly welcomed by the Real Betis fans. Antony, the Brazilian winger who spent the last half season on loan from Manchester United, has shown extraordinary performance, leading the team to even better performances and truly capturing the hearts of Real Betis fans. At the end of last season, a touching moment occurred, when Antony said goodbye to the Real Betis fans. At that time, fans clearly wanted the Goat to stay in La Liga, but because Manchester United had set a high price, everyone was skeptical that he would be signed permanently by Real Betis. However, unexpectedly, a few hours before the transfer window closed, an agreement between Real Betis and Manchester United was reached, officially making Antony a Real Betis player with a transfer value of €22 million.

I think he will do extraordinary things at Real Betis. He was even so close to acquiring a European trophy with them last time round.
Yes, since Antony joined Betis on loan, I've felt that he's a better fit for Betis than Manchester United. As we know, he wasn't given much playing time at Manchester United, while at Betis, the coach trusted him to play regularly. So, with that in mind, I think Antony is better off joining Betis. It seems like Antony doesn't have any burdens when playing for Betis. Hopefully, he'll be able to put on another great performance this season. Furthermore, Betis isn't just signing Antony permanently this season. After seeing the transfer market, Betis also signed Natan, a center-back from Napoli, permanently. What makes it even more interesting is that Natan is also Brazilian, like Antony. So, is this a coincidence? Is this really Betis' plan for Antony to have a teammate from the same country as him? Because after I saw the squad list from the Betis team, there were no players from Brazil other than Antony and Natan.
