Togolese striker Emmanuel Adebayor made exciting statements by expressing his refusal to donate to his country in order to help cope with the repercussions of the outbreak of the new Coruna virus (Covid-19).
Most football stars competed to provide aid and donations for the benefit of the authorities in their country or for charitable institutions working to alleviate the effects of a pandemic that killed about 180,000 people worldwide.
In Africa, Cameroon Samuel Eto'o announced a donation of 100,000 people, and Didier Drogba put a hospital of his charity at the disposal of his country's authorities.
However, Adebayor refused to follow this path, and said in statements on his Facebook account, "I do not donate, do what I want, and eat whatever I like, I know that I will receive criticism because I did not establish a charity in Lome (the capital of Togo), but I do what is comfortable for him." My heart is not what others ask of me. "
"You can compare me to Drogba and Eto, but unfortunately I am not Drogba or Eto'o, I am Adebayor and I will always do what I want to do."
"It looks like I was the one who brought Coruna to Lome. This is very unfortunate, but this is the case in Togo," he added.
Adebayor, 36, has played for a number of European clubs, most notably Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester City (England), Real Madrid (Spain) and the current season of Olympia (Paraguay).
