A Swedish player from the 4th division team of Hans Notstrand died after collapsing during practice.This comes just one day after the Hungarian player Miklos Feher collapsed and died during a Benfica game. The only news I found were in Portuguese. What the heck is going on ??
Yeah man. This makes it four then first a Foe then a Brazilian division 2 player(correct me on this one) Miklos Feher And now this. The question is:what is wrong with modern football? Do they take special pills just to stay in shape,remember football is getting more and more faster and not so beautiful to watch like back in the days. Tragic
I wouldn't be surprised if banned substances had a part in these unfortunate deaths. Thank god FIFA is cracking down on drug use. People wonder why Rio got such a harsh punishment for neglecting a drug test. Its to prevent instances like this from happening...
Strange the such young people who are in great shape could just collapse and die. That's a shame that it happen. I bet the Turkish are laughing just like when Foe died.
I wonder if anyone knows what he died from. We all know that he collapsed but was it an asthma attack or something else that he had?
What makes you think that? This isn't the topic to point fingers to certain peeps,this is about a footballer who died.
Nonsense. Of course, it could have something to do with 'illegal substances'. Then again... top level sports simply aren't as healthy as they're presented to be. Simple as that. Our bodies are not designed for it. Second, he might very well have been born with a cardiac problem. Even in medical tests, they do not simply show up just like that. Wait and see.
I agree with some points. The sport today is way more demanding than it used to be. More training, more games, more pressure, and "maybe" more drugs. I am not accusing the guy at all. After all he could have had a legitimate problem like Foe did. But it does seem a little strange to see these young players in top condition collapsing and dying. But then again the world has changed so much and media coverage is so overwhelming today that we hear news from anywhere in the planet instantly. Who knows, maybe stuff like this has been happening all along and we just didn't (couldn't) hear it the past.
The Turkish were booing during the moment of silence after Foe died, and that's why I said that banana-nipples.
Health Risk with Football Playing at the highest level really test you to the physical limits. You cannot really just "feel like resting". You have to participate on days you don't feel well. The nutrition many of us take for granted can cause severe distress at high level football. I remember being very surprised when I learned of my team mates were actually taking vitamins and paying special attention to their diets. There have been times I have been just so drained and tired from months of football like a marathon runner who just wanted to stop. It can really be an extraordinary fitness and health challenge that must be nutrionally managed and medically managed. Unless you are as superstar you just can't take time off!
