Antony made an impressive start to life for Real Betis. Picking up the Man of the Match award in Sunday’s 2-2 La Liga football draw at home to Athletic Bilbao.
The Brazilian star joined Betis on loan until the end of the season after coming on as back-up to Ruben Amorim. And made an impressive start to the campaign, playing a part in the first goal. That gave the team a 1-0 lead when he found space in the right side of the penalty area and fired a shot. That was saved by the goalkeeper before Isco followed up with a rebound. He was on the pitch for 72 minutes and finished his first game as the ‘Man of the Match’. ทางเข้า UFABET
Antony posted on Instagram after the game: “Let’s continue! Delighted to be chosen as the player of the match!!!”
On the other hand, Manuel Pellegrini, the team’s coach, said about the new player: “I think it’s a great debut. He’s a quality player.”
“I spoke to him before the game. I think a good player doesn’t have to show his skills all the time. He has to play well, make as few mistakes as possible and do the two or three important things: score goals, pass well and cross well.”
“I think he had a big impact on the game today, especially with the second goal. He’s only been with us for two or three days and I think he can help us a lot.”
