Real Betis announce transfer of German Pezzella from Fiorentina with hilarious and bizarre Grand Theft Auto style video
REAL BETIS announced the signing of German Pezzella with a fabulous Grand Theft Auto-inspired video.
The clip saw striker Aitor Rubial tour the LaLiga club’s grounds with the video game’s classic style, music and animations all featuring.
Betis dubbed the video ‘Grand Transfer Announcements’ and Rubial, 25, entered the scene with a PG-version of a viral meme that came out of the game.
He said: “Oh boy, here we go again.”
Indeed, this is not the first time Pezzella has signed for Betis after a two-year spell with the club earlier in his career.
In the clip, Rubial hopped on a scooter to view the training grounds, collect Pezzella’s shirt, and eventually arrive at Estadio Benito Villamarin.
Waiting by the pitchside was Argentine midfielder Guido Rodriguez, who told his pal ‘check this out’ before Pezzella emerged.
The 30-year-old then posed with the Seville club’s shirt with the caption ‘Mission Passed: Signed’.

Pezzella first joined Betis in 2015 but left for Fiorentina on an initial loan spell two years later.
But he is back on a four-year contract after a £3.5million deal that followed centre-back Aissa Mandi leaving Los Verdiblancos for Villarreal.
Coach Manuel Pellegrini said: “Pezzella meets all the requirements we need to replace Mandi, who was a very important player.
“He is a player who knows the club and the league. It’s a good addition for us.”
Betis finished sixth last year to qualify for the Europa League group stage.
After a 1-1 draw with Mallorca to begin their LaLiga campaign, Cadiz travel across Andalusia for an 8pm kick-off on Friday.
