Antony was unhappy with his teammates. |
In the first leg of the Europa League round of 16, played at the Olympic Stadium, Betis unexpectedly lost 0-1 to Panathinaikos. Notably, the Spanish team played with a man advantage for almost 30 minutes after Betis winger Anass Zaroury received a red card.
Despite having a numerical advantage, Betis were unable to break through the opposing defense. Worse still, they paid the price in the final minutes. In the 88th minute, Vicente Taborda successfully converted a penalty, securing a narrow victory for the Greek side.
After the match, Antony was upset with his team's performance. The Brazilian player believes Betis needs to seriously re-evaluate its problems. "I feel sad and disappointed. But we still have the second leg at home. We have to keep fighting and I still have absolute faith in the whole team," Antony shared.
However, the former Manchester United player frankly admitted that Betis needs to change. According to him, the team lacks patience and hasn't made good use of their numerical advantage. "We need to be calmer in our play. As I said, the whole team needs to look at themselves, because there are many things that need to change," Antony emphasized.
The Brazilian star also thanked the Betis fans and urged them to continue supporting the team in the second leg. Antony revealed that he is not yet in his best physical condition and is working hard to regain his form as soon as possible.
Betis will return to La Liga this weekend with a match against Celta Vigo, before focusing all their efforts on the rematch against Panathinaikos.
Why do fans look forward to Manchester United in the Champions League? With their history, massive fan base, and emotionally charged European nights, Manchester United has always been a name that makes the Champions League even more exciting to watch.
