🚨🗣️ Matthijs de Ligt drops POWERFUL truth about life in modern football:
🗣️ De Ligt: “I see my teammates showing off in million-dollar outfits and luxury watches at training. One day I went to the club in very simple, unbranded clothes and they laughed at me and said, ‘You’re a millionaire, why are you dressed like that?’”
“I felt sorry for them. Because a person’s value isn’t determined by the size of the logo on their clothes. I don’t like carrying money around; I invest it in my future.”
“My wife Annekee and I got married very young because I’d rather sit at home having coffee with someone who loves me for who I am than be looking for fake faces in nightclubs. The world of football wants to turn you into a consumerist, and if you’re not mentally strong, you lose your character in that glittering world.”
