A biography for Hector Bellerinhasn’t been written yet.
“I know a lot of people who support football teams don't care about fashion. For them, it can be quite weird to see someone looking very different. But I've learnt not to read the comments.”
“If I feel there is something to help me recover better or make me a better athlete or player then I will always try it.”
“It's true, when I was at Barcelona I played as a winger.”
“Some of my team-mates in the Under-18s used to play 'Call of Duty' and they told me I should jump on it. I have played it ever since, for my first one or two years I played it pretty much ever day, I was mad about it.”
“As players, we only get opportunities when players get injured and you never want to see anyone get injured.”
“My dream when I was at Barca was to play at Camp Nou and I did - just not wearing the shirt I'd expected when I was little.”
“If a coach comes to me and says you've done something bad I'm going to take that advice.”
“Football is not just about spending money.”
“When there were no kids to play football with in my local park, I would go to my grandma's factory. She used to give me £2 if I cleaned all the threads and scraps off the floor. I even learned how to sew.”
“At the beginning of the first season, you don't have that pressure to perform at 100 per cent, because it's always hard when you first start. But now, in the second season, people are expecting big things from you, so you can't really disappoint them.”
“Under Wenger I became the player that I am today because he's the guy that signed me at 16. I owe him a lot and all the time I spent here he made me play so much even when I was really young. Those are things you owe him back.”
“I don't get that much time to play, so when I'm with my mates, I usually only play 'CoD.'”
“Getting rid of all the food I was eating and going to this plant based diet it did take those few days to actually feel better, but when it got to the beginning of the third week I felt so good.”
“I've learnt that money comes very quickly, but it leaves even quicker.”
“I've always had little problems in my ankles when I played very hard games, they'd get very inflamed and stiff.”
“There's a lot of players who you can pick up some stuff from, not just only full-backs or defenders. Even training with the top players every week you can get good things from all of them.”
“What matters is that on the pitch we give the maximum to prove that money is not everything.”
“I am very happy in London.”
“I don't like the term streetwear. It limits self-expression in my opinion.”
“Everyone who has played in the Champions League wants to get back to playing in it again.”
