After spending the remainder of the season on a loan from Manchester United, Real Betis unveiled Antony.
Antony’s famed spin move was featured in a strange film that the Spanish club used to showcase their new addition.
During United’s Europa League match against Sheriff Tiraspol in 2022, Antony famously displayed the skill.
Antony gave a speech to the Real Betis fans after joining his new team.
Hello, Beticos, he said. I’ve never been to this stadium wearing this outfit before. I’m ecstatic.
It’s a large, lovely stadium. Playing here and representing you all excites me.
When he first saw the pitch, he said, “Oh my God, so beautiful.” I’m overjoyed.
“Come on, Betis.” I am excited to perform here.
Fabrizio Romano claims that 84% of Antony’s £200,000 weekly income will be paid by Betis.
After a difficult time at United, Antony will be looking to revitalize his career in Betis.
When Antony joined United from Ajax in 2022, there were high hopes.
The shift didn’t work out, though, as he found it difficult to consistently create an impression and ultimately lost favor.
Antony made 96 appearances for United overall, contributing five assists and 12 goals.
In addition to the League Cup from the previous season, he won the FA Cup with United.
Having not played for his country since March 2023, Antony’s long-term goal is to return to the Brazil squad.
But after his recent setbacks, his immediate goal will be to play frequently and perform consistently once more.
