Manuel Pellegrini discusses Antony's motivations upon joining Real Betis on loan from Manchester United, highlighting his struggles in the Premier League. After a disappointing performance at United, where he scored only five goals in 62 matches, Antony sought to prove himself in LaLiga. Since joining Betis, he has excelled, scoring nine goals and providing five assists, contributing significantly to the team's success. Pellegrini believes Antony's drive for 'revenge' has been key to his improvement and is optimistic about his future at the club as they prepare for a European final against Chelsea.
I spoke with him before he came to Betis. He told me that he was not playing because he was not happy, but he had a lot of complaints about what he has done also.
He wanted revenge, and here in Betis, I think he had it, and he did it in the way we know he can do.
Antony is a very good player. I am absolutely sure that this is a huge time for him here in Betis to help improve his career.
I don't think it's David v Goliath - we've got the same chance as they do of winning the title.
