reported on May 8 that in the second leg of the Europa League semi-finals, Betis will challenge Fiorentina away. Betis forward Anthony attended the pre-match press conference.

Betis won 2-1 at home in the first leg, and you scored a goal with your right foot. At that time, Fiorentina goalkeeper De Gea said that he had never seen you scored with your right foot in the past

I talked to him after the game. Scoring goals with your right foot is not common, but it is an important goal. He told me that I haven't scored his goal like this in the past 1,000 shots in training (Manchester United). This is true. But I was so happy to score with my right foot, which was a great goal.

You left Manchester United on loan to Betis during the winter transfer period and quickly returned to their best form

When I signed for Betis, I wanted to make history and fight for such a goal, and I was very happy to be able to wear Betis jerseys to participate in the Europa League semi-finals.

Do you think you are performing better now than when you played for Ajax?

I had a really good time in Ajax, but I think it was one of the best times of my life. Things get better when you feel happy and mentally healthy.

Betis is now expected to compete for the first European Championship trophy in the club's history

At Manchester United I have experienced difficult times and wonderful times, but I am very grateful to this club. And for me, it is a dream to win the European Championship in a Betis jersey and be written into the history of the club. I focused on achieving this and I wanted to write my name in Betis' history.

What do you think of Betis coach Pellegrini?

Everyone knows this coach and I am very grateful for the trust and chance he has given me. I hugged the coach after scoring the goal in La Liga last weekend? When I celebrated this way, I scored two goals with my right foot in a row, and the coach had previously doubted whether I was a left foot player or a right foot player. So after scoring the goal, I went to celebrate with him. That goal is equally important, and it was scored in stoppage time, and we are fighting for the Champions League qualification for next season in La Liga.
