I would like to hide behind my fingertip or even better to take a break and not to write anything. And just by listening to the news that a 18 child has been "extinguished" during heartbreak training, you "freeze" and you do not know how to react. And because I have gone through sports, but also from championship, the advice I want to give to those who have children is for the OWN to take control and monitor their health. Do not have confidence in anyone, in unions, in federations, in coaches, or in team doctors. In a "lagging" Greece at all levels, amateur sport has been left to its fate and our children at the mercy of ... luck.
18-year-old goalkeeper Asterios Markousis had already stood out for his talent in the Youth team of Veria and decided to join the first team. Great honor and joy for him and his family ... And in his first coaching with the "big ones", his father found himself on the field to admire him, saw him "collapse" in front of his eyes. What followed in the city hospital can not and does not need to be described ...
And yet, these parents, in the immense pain (perhaps the greatest man can feel ...) had the MIGHTY SOUL to donate their child's organs "to our fellow humans who suffer" as the father said... Deep down from me, nothing more.
The truth is that after all this is a little comical to start talking about football, absences and betting. It does not fit, not in the same text.
My compliments!
