Football is a sport that moves billions of euros every month. But the players to get there have to make an inordinate effort. Some more than others. In this case, 5 stars who had money before working kicking a football:
The world champion goalkeeper was born into a high-class family in the city of Nice. His father was a banker and his mother a lawyer.. Lloris took tennis lessons in her childhood until she had to choose between the racket and the boots. No need to clarify the decision.
Son of a lawyer and businessman father and a mother Director of the Brain Injury Unit of the Guttman Institute Hospital. The Barcelona defender always enjoyed economic stability. And now, while spending his last years in the elite of world football, he begins to get involved in the business world.
Lampard had football in his blood long before he decided he wanted to turn professional. His father was a footballer – he played for West Ham – and his uncle Harry Redknapp, a renowned coach. This allowed Frank to grow up in a family where there were no financial problems and thus he ended up becoming legend of Chelsea.
In Brazil, as is often the case throughout Latin America, most of the soccer players who end up in the world elite had serious economic difficulties as children.
It was not the case Kaka, who enjoyed a childhood in which scarcity was not commonplace. His father was an engineer and his mother a teacher.
“Unlike other great soccer players that Brazil has given and gives, I was privileged. I did not go hungry, poverty did not punish me and I did not encounter thousands of obstacles to live happily”
– Kaka
Andrea Pirlo’s father is -no less- the founder of a steel company in the city where he was born, in Brescia. After hanging up the boots, the former Juventus began to get involved in the business in addition to owning other ventures such as a vineyard.
