The media-savvy mayor said this when he received a video of the current Real Betis football player greeting him on the Adam Friedland Show.
Sending you lots of love and respect from here in Spain. From big Arsenal fans, former Arsenal players to big Arsenal fans.
Former Arsenal player Hector Bellerin told Zoran Mamdani that “being an Arsenal fan is directly related to being the coolest person”, adding that the first Muslim mayor and self-proclaimed socialist is “what New York needs and what the world needs”.
Full message from Hector Bellerin to New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani
“I don’t know if you noticed me with this shield, this hair, this mustache. Adam told me he was going to watch the derby with you guys. I don’t know if you watched this video before, after or during the game, but I’m sure we managed to win. Being an Arsenal fan means you’re a really cool person. And my theory is true. And it really shows. Here in Spain, we feel the energy of what happened. It’s what New York needs right now, what the world needs right now, and from a great Arsenal fan, a former Arsenal player, we send you a lot of love and respect, and we look forward to seeing you again.”
