According to Belgian football club Serag Brugge, the team's goalkeeper Van Damme has tragically passed away at the age of 28. Van Damme's wife was heartbroken and said goodbye in tears through social media posts, saying that he fought like a lion and participated in the last game, which was a role model for everyone. It is understood that Van Damme left 2 daughters, and for the death of the fighter, the Belgian football world was in silence.
The name Van Damme is so common in Belgian football that it is often confused. There is also a player named Yeller Van Damme, who is 39 years old this year and used to play for antwerp, a powerhouse in the first division. Born in 1993, Van Dammey's personal ability is obviously not as outstanding as That of Yeller Van Damme, and the Club he plays for is not the Club Bruges that many media think of as the giants of the League A, but a small club, full name Serrag Bruges, but shares a stadium with Club Brugge, so it often confuses fans who do not know how to do it.
Van Damme unfortunately suffered from leukemia in 2016, and in the following 5 years, he has been tenaciously fighting the disease and has never thought of giving up. During this time, Fan Damei endured unimaginable pain and torture for ordinary people, successfully defeated the disease twice, but relapsed 3 times, and finally when he fought leukemia for the third time, he did not survive and regrettably gave up. It is worth mentioning that when Van Damme received treatment, he did not forget the club, often paying attention to the performance of the team, and his skinny appearance made his teammates feel particularly sad.
In fact, when Van Dame first fell ill, after 1 year of treatment, he basically recovered his health and got a new contract. However, since the beginning of the 18/19 season, Van Damme's leukemia has recurred twice, and he has been traveling back and forth between the training ground and the hospital for a long time, gaining only 9 minutes of playing time in total. Despite this, Van Damme survived strongly and returned to the green field. Last January, Van Dammeh's doctor told him that the relapse would not be cured and that it would be an apocalyptic bell for any patient.
What is admirable is that Van Damme still did not give up, because when he learned the bad news, his daughter had just been born 2 days ago, and he did not want to leave like this. In the following 2 years, Van Damme received immunotherapy, and Selag Bruges offered to extend his contract in order to show his support, but unfortunately failed to save his life. The most consistent performance in Van Damme's short career was in the 15/16 season, when he made 32 appearances, all of which were starters. Serag Bruges is also playing in the First League, and is currently playing 32 rounds, with a record of 12 wins, 7 draws and 13 losses, temporarily ranking 10th, 3 points away from the European zone, and there is still a chance to let go.
