Looking back at the end of 2021, Danish star Eriksen's cardiac arrest at the European Cup has made many fans feel afraid. As we soon enter the New Year of 2022, there have been several tragedies in international football, with irreparable consequences...
Algerian media reported that on December 24, local time, in a match in the Algerian Second Division, 30-year-old defender Sofiane Lokar died of a sudden heart attack during the game.
The match was played between Ceda Morudia and ASM Oran, where Sophien Locar was leading 1-0, but he suddenly fell on the pitch during the match and although the medical staff intervened in time, it failed to revive him.
Medical experts confirmed that Sophia-Locar had suffered a heart attack. Netizens are sad that the 30-year-old player just had a wedding with his girlfriend a week ago and unfortunately passed away.
What is even more distressing to netizens is that this is already the third incident in international football in recent days in which a player died of a heart attack during the game.
On December 21, tragedy occurred in Croatian football. Marin Cacic, a low-league NK NK player, suffered a heart attack during training and fell into a coma before being taken to hospital for emergency treatment.
The 23-year-old Malin Kasic was diagnosed with heart failure, and despite the best efforts of doctors, Marin Kasic never recovered from his coma and died on December 23.
In addition, in Asian football, a similar tragedy occurred on December 22. Ahead of muscat vs Suvik in the sixth round of the Omani league on the same day, Omani international Mukhaled Al-Raqadi died of a heart attack in a pre-match warm-up.
Oman is in the same group as the Chinese men's team in the World Preliminary Round of 12 in the Asian Zone, and the 29-year-old Larkadi plays for Muscat as a defender. When the two teams warmed up before the Muscat vs. Suvik match, Larkadi collapsed on the court without warning, and the team doctor rushed in, but Lakadi had lost his breath and heartbeat.
The players of both teams were stunned to learn the bad news of Larkadi, and the Muscat goalkeeper sat directly on the ground, crying bitterly, and no matter how much comfort the staff could not help.
The on-duty referee was equally incredulous and decided to postpone the match, tearful as he walked back into the aisle from the centre of the court, mourning the loss of a young life for a player.
For three consecutive days, from Europe to Asia to Africa, three consecutive players collapsed on the pitch due to heart problems and never woke up again.
Although Eriksen was lucky enough to escape, he could not continue to play in Serie A. Earlier, the 33-year-old Aguero also retired early due to heart problems. These bad news happens again and again, and we cannot but attract the attention of more people.
