Two Premier League footballers have shared with their teammates that they are a couple, according to ‘The Sun’, which, however, does not mention the name of the athletes or the team they play for to maintain their privacy. Although they do not want to make it public, at least for now, they do not rule out that sooner or later it will happen.
“No one is ashamed and it could happen in the future,” says a source quoted by the British media. For the moment, they have shared the news with their teammates because “they didn’t see the need to hide, why should they? Nobody even remotely bothered and they had the support of the coach and the hierarchy of the club«.
The couple has been in a relationship since the beginning of the year, but they consider that any public announcement could divert attention from football. “During the season they wanted to focus on their football. While making a statement would be positive, it could take your attention away from his performances on the field. His teammates have also been told not to say anything publicly to protect their privacy,” the source concludes.
Just a month ago, Gary Lineker, a former English soccer player, acknowledged that he knew two homosexual colleagues whom he encouraged to go public during the World Cup in Qatar. Who did it was Jake Daniels, player of Blackpool, of the English second division, who wanted to share it through a statement from the club itself.
‘The Sun’ has already announced that a former Premier League soccer player who was international was preparing a documentary to be the first English league soccer player to speak openly about his homosexuality.
