“We brought two vans with 400 pressure washers” | Relief
As Atlético Madrid players relaxed in their hotel rooms in Paris hours before facing PSG in the Champions League, Marcos Llorente headed to Valencia. A red-and-white footballer who was unable to come to the Parisian capital because he was still recovering from a muscle injury.he didn’t think twice and this morning, around five in the morning, he got into his car to go to the aid of all those affected by DANA. Like many others in the world of sports, Marcos wanted to do his part in one of the worst tragedies our country has ever remembered.
The bus is loaded with all sorts of materials and, together with two other vans, is packed with almost 400 pressure washers – each priced at about 460 euros, Marcos left this morning for Valencia. With the permission of the club, which he did not interfere with, “14” took advantage of the fact that he was in Madrid to travel to Valencia, and there, in the Mestalla area, Relevo collided with the player.
“The club gave us the go-ahead to come and help, and this morning at five we left with two vans that were loaded from Kärchers yesterday. I help like everyone who can, I don’t do anything special“, the player said in a statement to Relevo, who was traveling accompanied by his father and friend.
Aware of the difficult times that Valencians are going through, the man from Madrid will not hesitate to transport all types of humanitarian aid to those who need it most. “In this case, it is impossible to remain in isolation. Everyone is incredibly involved and we (the players) are doing our bit. “Now we will go and help in any way we can.”
Regarding his publication a few days ago on Instagram, where the player spoke very persistently about what was happening: “Why were the Valencians abandoned”?Marcos spoke about this directly. “It was something that was inside me and I wanted to bring it out. There I always post what I feel, and the other day it was the same.”
If through its basis it were Atlético Madrid, which previously sent a convoy with food and materials to Valenciaon this Wednesday, it was the player of the first team of the red and white who wanted to go even further and give in right here. “From the outside it looks like chaos. It’s not clear what’s going on. People post videos on networks that they are forbidden to enter, that do not pack their things… . From the outside you can see that it is chaos from an organizational point of view because everyone wants to help.“.
This gesture was highly appreciated by those who met the footballer this Wednesday in Valencia: after the transfer of materials, the midfielder will return to Madrid. His team is playing tonight and after traveling incognito he will send them all his support from home.
