On the negative reactions that some of his more out there outfits have received, Bellerín said that "the problem is that people have an idea of what a footballer should look like, how they should behave, what they should talk about."
"You act a little differently and you become a target. There is pressure to conform. This is very dangerous. In life, you should be allowed to express yourself. People are happier like this.”
Bellerín believes social media is a double edged sword. "It can be a blessing and a curse,” he said.
"When I first came into the ranks at Arsenal, the expectations were very low so people were often impressed when I played well. But then, when I played badly, the stick got crazy. The worst was a year and a half ago. A lot of people say nice things but it is natural to focus on the bad. For a while, I deleted the apps. Later, I decided to go back on. Twitter is a great source of information. Every day I am learning to deal with abuse in a better way.”Explore more on these topics:
