Real Betis bold move touched me deeply. Their efforts to sign Antony back on a permanent basis have paid off, demonstrating their belief and commitment to him. This is not just a regular transfer, but a sign of the club's confidence that he is truly valuable and will be an important part of strengthening the squad going forward. Now it's up to Antony to prove his dedication by performing at his best in the upcoming matches.
Antony's performances tended to improve when he played for Real Betis, which is why the club was keen to sign him permanently instead of extending his loan. Antony proved his quality last season, scoring 5 goals and providing 2 assists in 17 appearances, a far better performance than when he played for Manchester United. While La Liga and the Premier League are certainly very different in terms of intensity, La Liga has its own distinct style and its own level of difficulty.
Antony hasn't played a single game until week 3, but he looks ready for the next one. Antony has agreed a 5 year contract until June 30, 2030, so it's clear that Real Betis has high hopes for him and I hope he can truly become the squad's best player.
Some players need to transfer to clubs where they truly feel they belong to perform at their best. Antony didn't perform well at Manchester United, but he performed well at Betis, and his performances improved. I believe that after this contract, Antony's performance will improve even further, and he will contribute significantly to the club.
Betis has high expectations for Antony, and I believe his performance will improve even further from now on.
