Hector Bellerin He is one of the footballers who speaks the clearest. The Betis footballer has never had problems showing his sincere opinion, even though this may have generated antipathy in some people or sectors of our society. The green-and-white full-back has now acknowledged in an interview with The Country that “I have eaten a thousand shits to position myself.”

Bellerín once again showed his concern for the social reality of Spain and shared that he has friends with different occupations beyond soccer players and that “it’s crazy” that “I have many 30-year-old friends who have to share a flat or ask their family for help.”

«I would like there to be more education and freedom in football. In Spain there is no such freedom for three or four players to give our opinion. We are always the ones persecuted. Football is a macho world, it seems like they are waiting for you to say something to start a circus. Violence has been generated on the networks that did not exist before,” also commented the Catalan player who continues to support equal pay in men’s and women’s football: “I know that today we do not generate the same, but if we do not invest In the feminine, it will never be equal. It seems that we want equality in everything except football. I have eaten a thousand shits to position myself but I will continue doing it because not doing so would be positioning myself»

The Betis footballer also showed his concern for young people and how some movements take advantage to mold them. «It is a movement that focuses on young men, kids in the most vulnerable moments of their lives, where they are forming their personality. They look for their identity and come to tell them that they have to be more macho, that women are worth less than men, that they have to separate themselves from their friends, focus on themselves and do I don’t know how many push-ups to be rich… What is “That fucking shit?” he asserted.
