Real Betis's sporting director Manu Fajado and chairman Angel Harrow spoke about the introduction of Brazilian winger Anthony, saying that although the player is a priority for the team, the club will not endanger its economic stability for the deal. They stressed that this is a complicated operation and needs to be handled with caution.
Talking to Anthony
Director Fajado: "We have to realize that this is a very complicated transfer. Given the level of the player and his current situation, it is not an easy task. As long as Anthony does not sign with a third club, we will do our best to join him. Although it is complicated, we will try to complete the transfer in various ways without burdening the club. The most important thing is to ensure the sustainability of the club."
Chairman Harrow added: "We need to maintain financial rigor. Attitude, just like in the past. For us, not only competitive sustainability is important, but economics are also important. We won’t spend money wildly, and our salary spending may only increase slightly from last year. In recent years, Betis has been known for his excellent buying and selling strategies, always able to buy and sell players at reasonable prices. "
Fajado was not surprised when Anthony refused invitations from other clubs and insisted on returning to Betis: "I was not surprised. I want to emphasize again what Betis did as a whole The work, from various departments. It is not accidental when a player comes here and makes an immediate impact. It is the result of the team's efforts, dedication and professionalism of all the people involved in the daily work."
Speaking of Pablo Garcia
In addition, Fajado also talks about the Spanish star Pablo Garcia: "For Pablo, we need to be extremely patient with him now. To borrow a sentence, 'over' in any field is not a good thing, and football is no exception. Pablo has just begun his job He has a lot to learn in his career. He will follow the first team for pre-season training, but we have to support him and help him move forward steadily on the right path. "
Fajado admits that there are several clubs interested in Pablo, but Betis has no intention of selling the young player: "Of course, when a player performs so well, it will naturally attract the attention of other teams. But for Pablo, Betis's door is closed. We fully trust his performance on and off the court and are committed to helping him grow."
