Pedro Porro
Pedro Porro was speaking about the catastrophic floods in Valencia and his emotional response to the situation.
Pedro Porro said “First of all, I just want to say that, well, for a Spaniard, today, for all Spaniards, it’s a sad day. I think we’ve had three, four, five days of terrible suffering. I can’t even imagine what it’s like for everyone involved in Valencia. And, as I posted on social media, I want to dedicate this victory to them.”
Pedro Porro was expressing his feelings of helplessness regarding the flood situation and his desire to help those affected.
Pedro Porro said “There’s a sense of helplessness. Helplessness about not being there, because I know what it’s like to be ‘in the mud’. I’d say it’s helplessness because I’d like to help. I think most players understand that they are in a pretty privileged position and I think all of them understand the social responsibility that they also carry. Areas where they can help.”
Ange Postecoglou, the Tottenham boss, was praising Pedro Porro for his empathy and understanding of social responsibility.
Ange Postecoglou said “Pedro is certainly a person who is very empathetic in that way, you see him with the younger players or with people in general. It is great.”
Ange Postecoglou spoke about the importance of players understanding the challenges faced by wider society.
Ange Postecoglou said “I always say to the players, we always need to understand whatever our tough moments are, they pale into insignificance to some of the challenges that people in wider society face.”
