Fashion is something that brought me closer to my family as I grew up. It's something that was deep inside me, in my roots, and I started taking more interest as I grew older because it reminded me of my mother and my grandmother. It's not something I take lightly, and I'm going to be open about it.

Hector Bellerin

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.

Men Car Who

It is just the start of your professional career and you have to handle it properly and realise that it is not always like that. There will be ups and downs. It is important that you keep humble, keep working hard and see it as the first step on a long journey.

I'm living my life the way I want to live it, and not the way people think I should.

People have called me 'lesbian' for growing my hair.

Obviously, I grew up in Barcelona, and when I watch them play I want them to win. The team are always going to be in my heart.

I know it's very comfortable to sit at home and stay with your family, kids and friends and not worry about anything. But with the platform we have we should be the people that scream at the social issues and put them out there so as a society we can move forward.

Yoga has been done for thousands of years and if people keep doing it, it must mean it works.

Arsene Wenger took a lot of inspiration from players, he gave you a lot of freedom. Unai Emery is a bit more tactical.

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.

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.

When you get to 16 at Barcelona, it's the age that you sign your main contract. I was about to sign that, but we knew there were a lot of other options because you always get them from other teams at that time. I didn't have the option to come to Arsenal until I was right about to sign with Barcelona.

Time Age Your

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.

My family has always made clothes. Growing up I can remember sewing machines being everywhere.

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.

When I first came to Arsenal, I didn't know how to defend.

The most important thing is that Spain have a good team no matter who plays. It is always nice to see your name spoken but the important thing is that the national team does well. But having good players for every position is important because there are always injuries, drops of form.

When I used to go to school, the teachers used to say to my mum, 'Hector looks like he's going to a restaurant.' I was just that kid, I wanted to look good.

The problem is that people have an idea of what a footballer should look like, how they should behave, what they should talk about. If you act a little differently you become a target. There is pressure to conform. This is very dangerous.

Hector Bellerin

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.

Hector Bellerin

I don't believe that there's a footballer out there that only thinks about football.

Hector Bellerin

People should be able to express themselves without feeling threatened. That is true in football, but also in life.

Hector Bellerin

I'm a Ronaldo fan as well, and for me, they're the top two players in the world. But for me, Messi is the kind of player that can do anything.

Loads of players love the stock markets. For me, it's fashion.

Hector Bellerin

My mom and grandma have made clothes their whole life. My grandma had her own factory.

Fashion is something that brought me closer to my family as I grew up. It's something that was deep inside me, in my roots, and I started taking more interest as I grew older because it reminded me of my mother and my grandmother. It's not something I take lightly, and I'm going to be open about it.

Sometimes taking it slowly, taking a player through the paces is the best way to keep him wanting more.

My dad was a Real Betis fan.

I don't think there's players who go on the Internet to watch 'Arsenal Fan TV.'

Hector Bellerin

I doubt I'm the fastest player in the world!

I am a football fan, I've watched football my whole life. When my favourite team didn't do well I'd get angry.

Football is not just about spending money.

Hector Bellerin

People have different passions, people have hobbies, people have lives outside their job, and nowadays it seems like the only thing we are allowed to do is train and play football.

Hector Bellerin

For us, it's always important to improve and keep things realistic.

When I was back at Barcelona, the boots I wanted to wear were Ronaldinho's. He had those Tiempos, gold and white, and I thought they would suit my style as a quicker player.

Hector Bellerin

As a team, the most important thing is results.

Hector Bellerin

I've always had little problems in my ankles when I played very hard games, they'd get very inflamed and stiff.

Hector Bellerin

With Arsene, he wanted us to play in the same way regardless of the opponents. The idea was that we could play in our way and beat anyone.

Hector Bellerin

Football has always been my number one thing, but I have other things in my life, like fashion, which is something that has always been in my family.

Hector Bellerin

In life, you should be allowed to express yourself. People are happier like this.

Hector Bellerin

As a professional athlete you have to be technical with what you eat. You have to make sure your intakes are on point every day.

Hector Bellerin

I started as a winger and played there for about six years but when I came to Arsenal they told me 'now you have to play me at the back' and everything just changed.

Hector Bellerin

If someone from 'Arsenal Fan TV' says this guy needs to do this or that I'm not going to listen to him. They're entitled to their opinion and the way they want to do it. If people find it funny, then go watch it.

Hector Bellerin

If a coach comes to me and says you've done something bad I'm going to take that advice.

Hector Bellerin

As a team, if you don't have the best season, it doesn't help.

Hector Bellerin

It's true, when I was at Barcelona I played as a winger.

In the beginning, learning a new position is not easy.

Mesut is someone who gets a lot of criticism, but the players who are around him are very happy to have him and play with him. He makes things very easy for us.
