Since joining Real Betis in the second half, Anthony has become an indispensable member of the team: after all, in the first half, the Andalusian team has not had a good life, and this winter, the team has lost the talented striker Dior.

But with Anthony's joining, the gears of fate began to turn gradually: in the first game that represented Real Betis, Athletic Bilbao, which has been in the Champions League for a long time this season, Anthony got the starting opportunity and performed well. In the second game against Celta, just ten minutes into the game, Anthony took the lead with a shot and scored his first goal in La Liga career.

Of course, because his performance at Manchester United is really abstract, many people believe that Anthony will probably only get a short-lived script at Betis. After all, when he first joined Manchester United, the Brazilian performed well. However, as the schedule deepened, Manchester United's abandoned son became more and more adaptable in La Liga. He scored three consecutive games in February, defeated Real Madrid and tied Barcelona in the league. When he arrived at the European League, Anthony also led the team to the semi-finals, and scored 2 goals and 2 assists in the first six knockout matches.

Enter May, Yuan Shen started again. The European Union's semi-finals volley against Fiorentina in the first leg, returned to La Liga against Espanyol, and he scored another super world wave. In the second leg, he completed the scene of a free kick and scored directly. He scored three long shots in three games in a week, using a completely different method. In overtime, Anthony can still assist Abde to score in the empty goal and the journey between him and Real Betis is obviously still continuing.

While Anthony is moving forward, the record is also chasing him: he and Real Betis have entered the UEFA League final, and as long as he defeats Chelsea, Anthony will top the UEFA League. Considering that the Brazilian has made four appearances in the Europa League for Manchester United, once the Red Devils defeated Tottenham in the Europa League final to win the championship, Anthony can still get another Europa League medal and be crowned the European Championship twice in a season - and opposite him, former Manchester United teammate Sancho is not so lucky, because he has not played for Manchester United in the UEFA Cup, and Sancho can only win the trophy of the Europa League.

From a abandoned son of a wealthy family to a small team core, the change in the league's style is only one aspect, and Anthony's progress is also an indispensable part of his self-salvation plan. After joining Real Betis, Anthony regained his confidence and his familiar incisiveness, which also made head coach Pellegrini dare to use him boldly and let him play the role of the front and midfielder who is familiar. At this position, the defensive enthusiasm of Manchester United's old players is still there, but in Spain, he has solidly improved his off-ball and counter-foot skills. Compared with the periods of Manchester United and Ajax, Anthony has indeed become a more difficult existence to defend.

However, after passing the mark, trying all the best for Real Betis may be the only thing Anthony thinks about: "At present, my mind is very clear. We need a champion so much. I really want to create history and leave my name in the glorious years of the club."
