and why this seems more a tragedy more than a statistic? i think its logical. you watch this guy week in week out on TV, get to "know" him in a way, even more so if youre a fan of Sevilla. that is the reason why youre more saddened by this, than by thousands of dead each day in Africa. you dont know those african children, you never saw their faces, what they did in life. it doesnt mean that that isnt a tragedy. its just more personal, even though it sounds weird. as the level of familiarity with the passed away person grows, the more you are affected emotionally (duh...). when a friend passes away, you dont think, "well ok, thousands die each day."
like i said, it may sound silly that i mention that we "knew" this player, but thats my opinion.
again, a sad day for football.
EXACTLY MY THOUGHTS, its so upsetting, earlier this year i was watching him vs spurs and i thought, this player is decent, causing a lot of trouble down that left
and you would' expected him to become a usseful international for spain and athe same for sevilla, his life cut so so short,i mean hes just TWO years older than my brother ffs
