RIP Christian Benitez

 



The Ecuador striker Christian Benítez died on Monday morning after suffering a cardiorespiratory arrest, less than a month after signing for Qatari club Al Jaish.

Benítez was admitted to hospital with severe stomach pain hours after making his debut against Qatar Sports Club in the Sheikh Jassem Cup but died shortly afterwards. He was 27.

Benítez joined Al Jaish earlier in July from Club America, after previous spells with El Nacional, Santos Laguna and Birmingham.

R. I. P. Benitez.

Naime, na jednom seminaru, pričao sam sa jednim kardiologom, vezano za slučajeve Puerta i Muamba, pitajući ga, kako je moguće da pored silnih lekarskih pregleda koje igrači prolaze prilikom potpisivanja ugovora sa klubovima, medicinskom osoblju promakne ovako nešto, odnosno, problemi sa srcem?

Kardiolog mi je odgovorio da su pregledi srca veoma veoma skupi i da se klubovima jednostavno ne isplati da ulažu hiljade i hiljade funti samo na kardiološke preglede. U prevodu, zdrav je dok je zdrav...igrači su nam potrebni da nam donesu profit, a za njihove živote nas baš briga.

Puerta, Muamba i Bentiez su 99% iz detinjstva "vukli" neku srčanu manu koja nije otkrivena do momenta kada su pali na teren ili van terena, kao što se Benitezu i desilo.

Strasno saznanje,prosto za nevericu.

"This morning we woke feeling profound pain, a pain that all Ecuadorians share, after losing an extraordinary human being, a son, friend, husband and player," Luis Chiriboga Acosta said.

'He added that the FEF would charter a flight to return the deceased player's body to Ecuador along with his wife, a process international team-mates such as Manchester United's Antonio Valencia would help with.

'Chiriboga also announced that the main pitch at the national team's training ground would be named after Benitez."
