Antony's presentation video with Real Betis is potentially the worst in history.
That is the verdict of the fans who have seen the LaLiga club produce a video at the level of 'School Project' to reveal the assignment of the Manchester United star for the rest of the season.
Transfers advertisement videos have become Hollywood -style epics in the modern era, often with huge casts and thousands of pounds spent in production.
And although Betis made a great effort in some of its contents about the arrival of Antony, it seemed to cut some details in a video published on Sunday.
The low -budget film shows the end hidden behind a battery of his images with the equipment of each team in which he has played, with the torso and the upper part of the head still visible.
A staff member eliminates his photographs in Sao Paulo, Ajax, Brazil and Manchester United before “revealing” Antony, who says “here I am.” Fans have been speechless for their low cost.
Antony's presentation video at Real Betis has been qualified as one of the worst in history
They took some photographs in front of his face before he declared 'I'm here' in Spanish.
“This has to be one of the worst revelations in the history of football,” wrote an amateur in X.
“It seems that someone did it in his bedroom for a school project,” said another.
“I think any footballer with brain would have said” in any way “when they took out the printed cards and explained what they wanted to do here,” said one.
“What would you expect? They inflated their entire budget for the season to take it there, so the marketing department had to be very creative,” said another.
One joked: “Man, the wait was so intense to see who was behind the photos !!!”
Some could barely believe that it came from the verified account of Betis. “This cannot be the original video,” one wrote.
Whether it is a deliberate ploy or not, Betis will argue that it has worked wonderfully because the video has received almost a million I like on Instagram.
Betis, who occupies the tenth place in LaLiga and is led by former Manchester City coach, Manuel Pellegrini, will pay 84 percent of the salary of 200,000 pounds sterling of Antony (168,000 pounds sterling, if you don't want to make accounts).
Fans could barely believe the video they had just seen, either deliberately or not.
United hopes to revitalize his career as Jadon Sancho did at Borussia Dortmund last season. Antony could not start the league with Ruben Amorim.
There were many expectations when Antony arrived at United from Ajax in 2022 for £ 86 million, acclaimed as a wonderful child that Erik Ten Hag could make the most of him.
However, the measure did not come out as planned since it struggled to achieve a constant impact and finally fell out of disgrace.
In total, Antony played 96 games with United and scored 12 goals, in addition to giving five assists.
He won the FA Cup with United last season and joined the League Cup of the previous campaign.
In the long term, Antony will seek to return to the Brazilian team, since it has not appeared with its nation since March 2023.
Betis did pay tribute with more creative revealing content.
In another video at the Club stadium, he made his characteristic movement of skill with rotation.

In a surreal video, the Sevillian club paid tribute to director David Lynch with a video that refers to his films Lut Highway, Eraser Head and Blue Velvet, as well as Twin Peaks.
In another, Antony made his infamous ability movement at the Benito Villamarín stadium.
Seeing the field for the first time, he said: 'My God, how beautiful. I am really happy.
'Let's go Betis. I really want to play here. “
