Edoardo Bove said what he remembers the terrible illness that led him to the plant of a defibrillator and how difficult it is for him to stay away from football
Edoardo Bove He still does not know if he can ever return to play football in Serie A after the illness that hit him on 1 December in Fiorentina-Inter. At the 17th minute of the first half, the young footballer was suddenly collapsed on the groundlosing knowledge. For long minutes the worst was feared since it remained motionless on the ground, but the prompt intervention of the rescue and the subsequent transport to the Careggi hospital in Florence managed to save him.
After a period of hospitalization in intensive care, he was implanted a subcutaneous defibrillatora device that allows him to lead a normal life but, in fact, not to take the field again in our championship given the stringent rules on the subject in Italy. To explain the situation was he himself during the podcast Passes from the BSMT conducted by Gianluca Gazzoli:
Italian law but it is not a medical question; For this reason, certain states allow competitive practice abroad. In the future I will have to make important visits that will tell me if I can remove it and, in case, what I will have to do.
However, a choice that also involves risks:
If I didn’t feel sure Without then everything would change. There is still nothing defined and this and this gives me hope for the future. Abroad I would go there because I owe it to me and to all the sacrifices I made. I wouldn’t feel like giving up, I’m still young.
Also because without football he just can’t be. Edoardo himself does not feel:
The idea of stopping playing football It is a thing that is not conceivable for meit has always turned all around that. Now I am living like a 23 -year -old boy who perhaps has not yet found his way, his passion … this thing scares me a little, because I don’t know if I will be able to go back to playing football. Now I am starting to live in some way, it is completely different: I have more freedom, I can do more things, but at the same time I feel I am not the edoard of before. It is a search for myself. I I know who Edoardo is with football, but without? I’m not afraid to find out, but I’m afraid I don’t like me, my girlfriend and my family.
What does it remember about illness
Of that game Bove remembers only the first quarter of an hour and nothing or almost of the illness if not the previous moments in which he understood that something was wrong. But he would never have thought of such a problem.
Already when there was the canceled goal of Lautaro I felt turning my head a littleeven if the heart I felt it beat normally. At that point I lowered myself and when I got up I went down. . I woke up in the hospital without remembering anything.
Bove also told what happened on the ambulance towards the hospital:
They told me that in an ambulance I made a nice mess, after they revived me I was trying to bite, I was back enoughbut I don’t remember anything. It is incredible how our brain chooses what to remember or not.
Memories are also confused in the following days because it has most likely been selective amnesia, the process for which some of the traumatic or post -traumatic events are forgotten.
The first people I saw told me that they were my family members and my girlfriend. But me. They came in the morning and were the first to see me conscious. Then the first people I physically remember were the coach, the sports director, the general manager of Fiorentina. And the incredible thing, on which I then dwell, is like our brain then tends to make an isolated process alonewithout you asking him, making you forget … because I was conscious.
Finally, it is inevitable to ask a question. But Bove has already gone further, thanks to the long time inner path.
Sometimes I wonder why it happened to me Because others can play and I don’t. But I understood that I was very lucky, so I almost feel guilty when I ask myself certain questions.
