Anthony loves Betis more than he loved United. He deserves a spot in the main squad, and happy to see him back in La Liga after a very long drama between Betis and MU. He has even rejected Bayern's €7m yearly offer. It proves his follow his passion instead of focusing on the monetary.
I think he will give everything to the Betis, and that's what i expect to him. He will get his confidence back, play better, and help Betis to step up.
He deserves to be treated well in his new club. I hope he will able to work as when he made it to the final of Conference league. Wish him luck.
His love for soccer grew naturally when he moved to Old Trafford to play for Manchester United, even sharing the field with his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo. It was truly a joy for him to play for the Red Devils. However, as his performance declined, the trust of his coach and fans faded, and he often became the target of ridicule. He was completely down and out and not appreciated at all until Real Betis recruited him to play for half a season in La Liga on loan, and Antony did not disappoint. He performed well for Real Betis and even managed to take Real Betis to a higher level, where for the first time Real Betis reached the final of a European competition, even though it was the third tier of European league competition.
During his loan spell at Real Betis, he truly showcased his quality once again and was even called up to the Brazilian national team squad. However, when he returned to Manchester United after his loan spell ended, Antony was completely disregarded, as if the club no longer wanted him. He even had to train separately from the main squad, which was led by Amorim. So once again, I am very happy that Antony is now permanently a Real Betis player. This is the right choice because he is in a place where he is valued.
Honestly, this is very happy news for Real Betis fans, as Antony return further strengthens the current squad and boosts the morale of the other players. Antony return is certainly different from when he left for Manchester United. He is now a more experienced player with improved performance, which is expected to bring positive changes to the squad. Antony story demonstrates how emotional bonds also play a role, not just about money or transfer values.
This proves that environmental factors do affect a player's performance while on the pitch, and currently at Real Betis, Antony is in a positive environment to help him return to his best form. And Real Betis really spent the summer transfer window this time trying to recruit Antony Santos permanently, Real Betis continued to fight even when the transfer window closed in the final hours, Real Betis was still trying to bring in Antony.
