Former soccer players David Villa and Fernando Morientes attended a solidarity event this Thursday at the La Paz Hospital in Madrid, where they played with some of the children admitted to the Madrid center and played ‘El Clásico’ with the games and toys that were later They donated, as has become a Christmas tradition, by the toy company Hasbro Iberia.
“It is a source of pride and a small joy to see children who are having such a hard time with that illusion and desire. Many times those of us who are lucky to be healthy drown in a glass of water with nonsense. It is not the first time I have come here , throughout my career I have gone to hospitals and it is a very big lesson,” said the Asturian in statements to Europa Press.
Morientes also wanted to contribute his grain of sand to the cause and was “excited” to be able to spend some time with the little ones. “It’s a pleasure to be here, as well as an illusion for them and their families. It’s a little while to escape from reality, which in some cases is tremendously complicated. This time of being able to play with them, with games of our time, I give it to you you have a good time and it’s exciting,” he said.
The strikers, both internationals with the Spanish team, once again enjoyed their game in a special solidarity action that included the participation of the Smile Doctors of the Theodora Foundation, whose objective is to humanize the stay of children in hospitals. The act was narrated by the popular streamer TheGrefg, who went live through his well-known Twitch channel to share this moment with the millions of followers he gathers on social networks.
