Bellerin's sharing on the podcast demonstrates his deep insights and perceptions on several social issues and personal experiences.
With regard to equal pay for equal work for men and women, he expressed his firm support for this as a necessary and fair principle. He recognized the responsibility of male footballers to use their platforms and resources to push for this change, which he saw as a sign of respect not only for female footballers, but also for the concept of equality in society as a whole. He likened it to "taking a piece of the cake", but in reality it was something that benefited everyone, reflecting his deep understanding of fairness and justice.
Speaking about the formation of the problem, Bellerin did not shy away from the limitations of footballers in the professional environment, pointing out that they are molded into "machines" and emphasizing the importance of focusing on the mental health and personality development of the players while pursuing results. He raised expectations about the responsibility of entities such as clubs and leagues in improving this situation.
With regard to social media and discrimination, Bellerin confessed that although he tries to avoid being affected by it, he can still feel the pressure of public opinion. Referring to the misconceptions and discrimination he and his teammates have suffered on the basis of their appearance, style, etc., and in particular the double discrimination against homosexuals, he expresses his awareness of the complexity and challenges of the issue. He called for the need for more bottom-up changes within soccer to break down the barriers of masculinity.
In the Rubiales case, Bellerin expressed his indignation at the unfair treatment of women's world champions, arguing that it was unfair that their achievements were overshadowed by personal events. He also pointed out that the incident had also triggered public reflection on abuse and harassment, and that although the problem remained, the awakening of awareness was a positive sign.
Talking about his life at Betis, Bellerin reveals his deep affection for the club and his desire for nature. He shares his experience of living alone during the epidemic and his joy and sense of belonging upon returning to Betis. He compares the differences between London and Betis, expressing his contentment with his current life and his expectations for the future.
When talking about his partner, Bellerin shows how much he cherishes love and respects his partner. He describes how the two met, how they met, and how his partner brings balance and color to his life. He emphasized the importance of life outside of soccer for the player and the supportive role of his partner in his career.
Finally, looking back on his career, Bellerin is both grateful for his luck and hard work, as well as those who helped and supported him along the way. His story inspires more people to believe that it is possible to realize their dreams if they work hard and seize opportunities.
