Bicycle to and from get off work, Bellerin: Influenced by Wenger, I am increasingly concerned about sustainable development

Bellein was interviewed by the BBC and talked about the impact of former Arsenal meritorious coach Wenger on him and his own environmental protection philosophy.

BBC said Bellerin came to interview on a bicycle, and the player explained: "It is of course more convenient to take a taxi, but I know I am a privileged person, and this action is more of an advocacy. We need a greener city and reduce the use of cars."

Bellerin said: "I learned a lot from Wenger. Although it is not directly related to sustainability, I think the word now has a clear meaning, more about a holistic lifestyle. With the sustainability The focus of development, you develop empathy and compassion, these are the qualities you get when you decide to take care of the place that gives you life. Wenger is a person who pays great attention to these qualities and he works hard to deliver these values ​​in his own way. "BBC said that Bellerin also uses his influence to actively advocate for environmentalism and green consumption: "I think power comes with responsibility, and every time someone handes a microphone in front of you, you have the opportunity to talk about something and trigger thinking. For a long time, I I have been buying second-hand clothes and shoes. I remember one time, I saw a pair of shoes in a store next to the parking lot. I hesitated for six months before I decided to buy it, and I wore it almost every day. It was about giving your items a long life, giving them new life when you no longer need them. Now we are constantly bombarded by advertisements, which create a false demand. "

Bellein believes that basic needs such as food, clothing, housing and transportation do enrich life, but before buying anything, we should all first Ask yourself if you really need it: "This is a basic principle for me. I am always reflecting that if I can convey this idea to others, I can create a better and safer environment for everyone. Although we don't vote every day, action is crucial. This is the most effective way to support environmental protection and a green future." In the interview, Bellerin also talked about the reasons why he chose to join Betis and found that the club's sustainable development philosophy coincides with himself: "I heard of 'Forever Green Foundation’, although it doesn’t fully understand their work, when I come here, it feels like everything fits well. Betis is not just a football club, it’s also a part of a grand career, it’s very satisfying. “

Talking about how to promote sustainability today when football is becoming more commercialized, Bellerin said: “It’s hard, I can’t decide on these, and I know very well how the industry works, but I won’t stop doing what I like because of the decisions of the top leaders. We players often feel like we are treated as numbers or commodities, more games, more travel, more frequent conditions, and more difficult conditions, and we are just Tell me to drink more water. I am just a football player, but I can speak for injustice and make suggestions for improving the status quo. "

" Football players around the world need to be united, whether through strikes or making bolder decisions, otherwise things won't change. Just like women's football, they show real power. Whenever they encounter problems such as safety, salary or working conditions, they are always united and eventually win, which is the power of unity, and what the men's football still lacks. If we want to continue to enjoy the fun of football, this spirit of unity is essential. If we as players have the courage to use our influence to fight certain injustice, I dare to assert that the world will be different because of this."
