One day when he was 18 or 19, still near the start of his journey, Héctor Bellerín got a call from Mikel Arteta inviting him round. He remembers asking lunch or dinner but this was neither. “When I arrived that afternoon, he was sitting with a financial adviser and they started to ask: ‘How much do you spend on this?’ ‘How much do you spend on that?’.
This was when Arteta was just his teammate. That's pretty amazing.
I said: ‘Thank you.’ He said: ‘If you do the same for a teammate one day I’m happy.’
It sounds like Hector took that to heart and is doing that role for his teammates now.
I wonder if these kinds of life lessons were some of the off-the-field stuff that Norgaard provided last season.
