As a football player, I think the comfort of where you enjoy your football is very important and we have all seen the big change from the time he was playing at Manchester United to when he is playing at Real betis. Anthony is praise like a God in Real betis and same goes to Victor osimien in Galatasaray despite the fact that Napoli literally frustrated him and aslo had many offers from other clubs he still choose to play where he enjoyed his football.
From nothing in Manchester United and received a lot of criticisms there, Antony has become like a GOAT in Real Betis and he is actually happy there. He feels like he is an important member in Real Betis and this improves his psychology, mentality as well as boost his performance quality for Real Betis. Players are human and they have need of good treatment and respect from their club and fans. Antony has very good support in Real Betis and he knows that his career will be bright there while his opportunity to be called for national team will be increased too.
Xabi Alonso seems to have already established harmony among Real Madrid's players. The only criticism is that they don't score many goals. They're not wrong about that, as their victories are usually those with one goal more. Real Madrid, on the other hand, has accustomed us all to expecting four- or five-goal wins. Of course, even one goal after three points is enough, but if we're talking about the best team in the world, we expect more.
Xabi Alonso is good at tightening teamworking at his clubs, forcing his players training better, and enlightening them in skills and vision development. I believe that Xabi Alonso will succeed in Real Madrid but it's realistic to give him enough time so let's expect great success will come in a next season. It's barely seen such amazing success like Zidane in Real Madrid with titles from La Liga to Champions League especially 3 Champions League titles consecutively.
