Antony, message at the separation of Betis: “Football has become love”
“Today is the day I thank you for one of the most beautiful chapters of my life. And while writing this page of my story, I must say why you were and you will always be so special to me.
As a child, football was not just a dream or my only chance to change my life, as many say. For me it was more than that. It was my joy. The only place I felt fulfilled.
We count the minutes to run after a ball. Life has taken me away, from Favală to different parts of the world. I left Brazil, I played in the Netherlands, I played in England. I stopped being only a child and I became a father. Many things have changed, but football has always been my refuge.
Until one day when everything crashed. From heaven to hell. The ball did not enter the gate, the joy disappeared, my world was dark and I began to doubt me, my talent and passion. Then football gave me a last gift – you.
When I got here I didn't know what to expect. But in my most beautiful dreams, I didn't imagine that I would find that exactly. I felt something different here. It was like returning home, as if I rediscover some of me that I thought I lost.
I smiled again with you. With you I found the child in me. The one who loved football with all his heart. With you, football became love. True love.
Thank you for receiving me as part of the family. Thank you for giving me the joy of playing football. And thank you for reminding me of what I fell in love with this game. My house, my people. Betis forever, “said Antony, on social networks.
