Yes, you're right, and Antony really found a great environment at Real Betis, which made him very eager to join this La Liga club. He even said that he rejected an offer from Bayern Munich because he only wanted to go to Real Betis. Wow, he was on loan at Betis last season for a few months and has found his home.
Antony prioritizes performance and comfort so it is not surprising that he prefers Real Betis even though the salary is lower, we also saw Antony's performance was very good when he played there and the support from the fans made him want to stay.
You’ve got to prioritize where you are valued with a fair income more than where you would be paid a huge amount and you don’t get the chance to showcase your skills, amuse your fans and have chances to inspire others to do better. This is what Antony is enjoying at Real Betis, he fits the team so well that, it didn’t take long for his performance to be noticed visibly on the pitch and he became a major threat to oppositions. He wasn’t appreciated in Manchester United, he knows what that is and now, his where all he does is appreciated, better to enjoy it.
Honestly, the decision of Antony is very good and top notch he did the right thing choosing Betis over Bayern (a very good move). Though, sometimes it marvels me when footballers don’t do well in a new club……. like you mean all the skills and techniques they’ve used in the past just vanished ?, all the talks about adaptation to a new environment might be a huge factor That affects this but it’s not enough reason for a dip in form of players.
Antony has overcome his dip and has recreated himself in Real Betis colours it’s very important that he continues such form and exploits for his career’s sake.
Good luck to him in this new season. Let’s see him and Rashford who does better in the league this season
