MADRID, 18 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –

Inter Milan, rival of Atlético de Madrid in the round of 16 of the Champions League, and its player Marcus Thuram have joined 'We Love Football', the project of the red and white club that seeks to channel its actions to build a football starring diversity, inclusion, respect and tolerance.

“For me, football is a game, a game that I loved to play when I was a child. I had the dream of becoming a footballer, of scoring goals, giving satisfaction to the people who come to the stadium and who help us win the games. “Football is like a school of life, because you are with your teammates and you have to learn to respect and work as a team. I think being a good soccer teammate helps you be a good person off the field,” said Thuram.

The French striker also recalled that footballers today are “idols for many people” and are “an example for children and adults.” “I think that if there is a message to convey, they can do it because they have a very important impact on society. Football can help people find themselves, dream and change their lives,” he said.

'We Love Football' is the Atlético de Madrid project that seeks to “channel” all its actions aimed “at building the football we want, a football featuring diversity, inclusion and respect, which inspires the world of sport and everyone. the groups”.
