A former Real Madrid striker, Emmanuel Adebayor, has showed off his array of luxury cars on Instagram in an attempt to “motivate” his fans.
The Instagram account named ‘Team_Adebayor’ posted the video in the hope of inspiring others that they may be able to achieve what the former Tottenham and Manchester City star has in his life.
Starting with a customised Rolls Royce, the video shows off eight more expensive vehicles, including four Mercedes Benz, two Porsches, a BMW and Range Rover.
The caption read: ‘#MondayMotivation This video is not a message to tell you ‘SEA has made it’, but rather to say ‘You can do it too!’
“All you need to do is believing in yourself and keep working even when no one is watching. Tag a friend who needs to see this.”
The former Arsenal and Tottenham striker has faced huge criticism recently having decided not to donate to his native Togo’s coronavirus fight.
Adebayor, who is currently isolating in his native Togo, refused to give money to help battle the deadly virus before expressing his desire to be able to do as he pleases with his wealth.
The 36-year-old was earning as much as £175,000 a week while at the Etihad Stadium and has amassed millions across the span of his professional career.
Adebayor had been playing in Paraguay with Olimpia before the virus broke out and lockdown measures were introduced to stop the spread.
He joined the Paraguayan club on a free transfer from Turkish outfit Kayserispor earlier this year.
But, while currently isolating back in Togo’s capital of Lome, Adebayor maintained his no donation stance as the former captain of the national team dismissed the notion of responsibility on his shoulders to use his money to help against COVID-19.
The country, as at Wednesday, has 128 confirmed COVID-19 cases and nine people have died from the virus.
Across the entire continent, the health care systems are not strong as the ones in Europe or USA and Africa is said to be up for a disaster in the coming weeks.
But despite the warnings, Adebayor is very clear that he will not donate.
“For those of you who say I don’t donate, let me be very clear, I don’t donate. It is very simple,’ Adebayor said in a Facebook Live video, as reported by Marca.
The former Arsenal and Tottenham striker said that “I do what I want and I eat what I want.
“Later, there will be people who will criticise me for the fact that I did not make a donation in Lome (capital of Togo).”
Adebayor has previously helped those in need back in his native Togo, committing to improving the lives of children back home.
In 2017, he generously revealed he was to financially support 90 children in Togo for an entire year.
