This is destined to be a restless Spring Festival, when the coronavirus pneumonia is still raging in China, and on January 27, 2020, the bad news that NBA superstar Kobe Bryant died tragically due to a flight accident (only 41 years old) came again. Kobe Bryant's unexpected death makes us feel the fragility of life, even if you are the star on the court, the omnipotent god of war, but at the moment of disaster, no matter who is so helpless.
Bryant's departure is a loss to world basketball. In the football world, there are also many sad accidents in which players die due to accidents, and there are even several tragic air disasters. In this special season of 2020, I would like to join you in remembering the athletes who died early due to accidents, and may there be no disasters and difficulties in heaven!
Air crash incident. To date, five football teams have been hit by air crashes: the Lima Union air crash in Peru on 8 December 1987, the Splendid Eleven air crash on 7 June 1989, and the Zambian air crash on 28 April 1993.
The Manchester football team air disaster, also known as the Munich air disaster. As the most famous air crash in the history of football, almost all fans are familiar with it: on 6 February 1958, manchester United returned home from the Champions League in Belgrade, the plane stopped at Munich Lime Airport in Germany, followed by a crash that killed 23 people, 23 of whom were killed on the spot, and 8 of them were Manchester United first team members, including the star of hope Duncan Edwards. The crash nearly destroyed the Manchester United team, and after this blow, Manchester United did not slow down for decades, until Ferguson joined Old Trafford, and the Red Devils began to embark on the road to revival.
Another world-renowned Super air disaster was equally heartbreaking. This is the worst loss in the history of football, the Serie A hegemon Turin is completely destroyed, it can be said that Italian football has gone back 20 years. On May 4, 1949, when the Turin "Gods" returned home from a Latin Cup match against Benfica in Portugal, the plane crashed into Mount Supega near the airport, and neither of the two Turin football teams and coaches on board was spared. Since then, including Italian football, it has not recovered and entered the "Dark Age", until 1968, when it ushered in new developments.
In addition, sudden deaths in football are not uncommon, those players fall down also tells the fragility and difficulty of life, these sudden death of players on the green field, but also worthy of the fans to firmly feel the hero.
On 26 June 2003, during the FIFA Confederation Cup match between Cameroon and Colombia, Cameroonian star Vivian Foo suddenly collapsed and fell without any other players around, and then died on the way to hospital.
On 26 January 2004, The Hungarian player Fijhel, who played for Benfica, died suddenly in a league game at the age of 24, caused by a heart attack.
On 28 August 2007, during the first round of La Liga against Getafe in Sevilla, Puerta, a Sevilla player who was hospitalized for a heart attack, died at the age of 22 after being admitted to the hospital for three days.
On August 9, 2009, The Captain of the Spaniards, Halke, who was training in Italy, died after being sent to the hospital for rescue after being unconscious due to a heart attack.
May there be football in heaven, every good football player, is a gift from Heaven to the fans, let us pray together, I hope they go all the way!
