With football on hold during the health crisis, Saul, 25, has launched Saldremos Juntos , a campaign to boost Spain's freelancers and small businesses whose livelihoods have been bludgeoned by the pause in activity.
Saldremos Juntos has assembled 44 high profile ambassadors including athletes, actors, social media influencers, to provide publicity to stricken businesses. "The idea is to link a business, Saldremos Juntos and the famous person and for the business to get something positive out of it," Saul explained.
Around 900,000 jobs have been lost, while Spain's 3.2 million freelancers and small business owners, who have long complained of having little social protection and paying high rates, are up against the wall. "Every way of helping is positive, we need to get everyone to help and support each other and above all when this crisis passes we need to continue to show solidarity with each other."Saul's last act on a football pitch before the spread of the virus halted sporting competitions across the globe was helping Atletico pull off a momentous extra-time victory away to Champions League holders Liverpool.
"The club will call me when it's time to go back to work, I'm preparing myself mentally and physically to deal with it in the best way possible but football is secondary right now," he said.
