Brazilian midfielder Antony is experiencing a rebirth of his career at Real Betis. After a difficult spell at Manchester United, where he failed to reach his full potential, he has found a second wind in sunny Spain. Antony’s arrival at Betis was accompanied by expectations, but also questions. After all, a change of scenery, a new culture and playing style can shake a player. Antony, however, handled these challenges with aplomb. He adapted quickly to the team, the city and the Spanish league.

Gaming comfort and statistics
An important factor in his success is the trust shown in him by his coach and teammates. So far, he has been playing in the starting lineup and feels important to the team. This is also reflected in his performances. We can say that Antony has come alive in Sevilla. He has started to show his style of play from Ajax Amsterdam again, his technical finesse and shooting skills. His stats are improving and the fans are delighted with his performances. In the three games he has played so far he has scored two goals.
Real Betis as an ideal destination
It seems that the move to Betis was the perfect move for Antony. In Sevilla he found a footballing comfort and started to enjoy football again. The sunny weather, the lively fans and the club’s support helped him find his lost form. It is questionable whether Antony will stay at Sevilla after the end of his loan spell. What is certain, however, is that he is enjoying a successful period at Real Betis and has returned to the football map. Whatever his future, he deserves a big thank you for his performances in Sevilla so far.
