Alphonso Davies: "I don't have a family and my girlfriend doesn't live with me, I'm alone and I probably have five friends"

At first glance, the life of a footballer may seem glamorous, with huge salaries, adoring fans and the chance to travel the world. However, the reality is that being a footballer requires intense physical training, a grueling schedule and constant scrutiny from the media and fans. In addition, footballers are often away from their families for long periods, which can lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation.

And this is exactly what happens to him Alphonso Davies, one of the best left-backs in the world and current player for Bayern Munich, does not see it that way. The Canadian player, in a fit of sincerity, has said everything he really thinks about his life.

Davies, who is known for his facet as a streamer, explained on Twitch that he does not have much to do throughout his day, something that brings him down the path of bitterness: "It is a bit worrying not having something to do, Especially when all your friends have jobs."

For this reason, for Davies it is a torture to come home and not know what to do, no matter how much money he has: "Since I have no family and my girlfriend does not live with me, I am alone. I probably have like five friends. I am a popular loser " .

In this sense, he has ensured that the life of footballers is "great to relax and enjoy" but "after training, there is nothing to do". However, it would be a mistake to generalize, since other well-known footballers do have other projects parallel to football. For example, Martin Braithwaite, Espanyol player; Sergio Ramos, from PSG or Álvaro Morata, from Atlético de Madrid.
