R.I.P Antonio Puerta



Within the span of 2 weeks, 3 footballers from all over the world sent a common bad news - all 3 footballers died. Reason of death all has to do with cardiac arrest. One of the more well known one was Antonio Puerta, who collapsed during a match while playing for Sevilla. To add on to the sadness, he was even about to become a father in one and a half month time. Devastating i must say. The other two got their fate sealed up while training with one of them being Chaswe Nsofwa and the other one being Anton Reid. All this highlights the hectic life of a soccer player. Over the years, this has been an issue. Right now, it seems more common. Some clubs has donated money for research in the field of cardio science. Maybe they really should reflect on their hectic schedule and do something about it. If not, it's just pushing the players too hard.
