Since joining Real Betis on loan from Manchester United in the January transfer window, Anthony has taken La Liga by storm. With eight goals and five assists in just 21 appearances across all competitions, the Brazilian winger has quickly become a fan favorite — but it’s not just about numbers for him. In a recent interview, Anthony revealed the emotional reason behind his electric performances and unwavering commitment to Betis.
“When I got to Betis, I wanted to make history, to be fighting for these things,” Anthony said, referring to the club’s run in domestic and European competitions. “I’m very happy to play a semi-final in the Betis shirt. I’m prepared physically and mentally for the game. I want to write my name in the history of Betis.”
Despite his uncertain future — with no clarity yet on whether the Spanish side will make his loan permanent — Anthony insists his focus is entirely on the present. “I don’t know what’s going to happen at the end of the season, but I just know I’m very happy here,” he admitted.
What makes his story even more striking is his complete transformation since arriving in Seville. From a fringe figure at Old Trafford to a key man for Betis, Anthony’s resurgence is rooted in more than tactical freedom — it’s deeply personal.
Sources close to the player say the move reignited his passion for football, driven by a desire to prove himself and win silverware. “The player is now fully engaged, wanting to win a title with Betis,” a club insider confirmed. “When the time comes and the season ends, he’ll be able to do his part if this option opens up.”
For now, Anthony is giving everything on the pitch, motivated by a deep emotional connection with the club, the fans, and a mission to make his short-term spell unforgettable. Whether or not he remains in Seville beyond the summer, one thing is clear — Anthony is playing his heart out, and Real Betis is reaping the rewards.
