Antony thanks Betis fans for their support during his slump
The Betis winger, struggling for form and rotated by Pellegrini, wrote to supporters after the 0-1 win at Elche: «I love you very much».
Antony is going through a bad patch with Real Betis. Things are not coming off for him, he is neither at his best physically nor in form, and his performances clash with a team flying in La Liga and the Champions League. After the 0-1 win at Elche he left the pitch visibly annoyed, according to ABC.
On Instagram he wrote: «I want to thank all Betis fans from the bottom of my heart for the affection and support, even in the moments when things don't go as one wishes. I feel your affection and can only say I love you very much». With the message he admits that something is not working.
Manuel Pellegrini has been leaving him on the bench less often or replacing him in the second half, but the coach relies on the good level of the rest of the squad, with players such as Morante and Riquelme, key in Elche and in keeping Betis picking up points.
