July 21 (Bloomberg) - Spanish defender Bellerin spoke about the unequal distribution of resources between men and women in soccer in the sport in a recent interview with Radio Sail.
I think the development of a women's soccer team is necessary, and my friends ask me about it all the time," said Bellerin. The fairness I understand and aspire to is that we earn the same amount of money, have a comparable professional status, enjoy the same rights and are equal to each other.
He also mentioned, "How do we achieve this? I'm not sure yet, but I think the men's soccer team should be the first to provide support. We have the platform and the resources, we have been through this path, yet they can't do it now." .
"We need to take responsibility: the clubs, the leagues ...... we have a huge influence and [supporting women's football] has nothing to do with taking a piece of the cake away from us, quite the opposite, it's in everyone's interest.""
