Months in Hell for Reine-Adlade
In the columns of L’Equipe, the Lyonnais returned to this dark period. Despite the injury, I watched football on TV all the time, L1, L2, England… And then the family also helps to stay on track. The hardest part was the recovery with OL last summer. I saw the others going to train and I was alone with the relatives who suffered. Then it is very complicated to go to the stadium for six months to watch them play. Complicated to feel helpless admitted the playmaker.
Le Gone admitted he had a hard time accepting his fate. In the beginning it is sadness. It was very, very bad to get injured while we are in good shape and we just put in a lot of effort to come back. Then there is a questioning phase. Will I still be able to come back? Then it’s the passion that takes over and we get back to work. But we fall all the way down at the time of the replay. in that time the staff and my teammates helped me a lot by surrounding me with positive vibes Reine-Adlade underlined.
Reine-Adlade thought about ending his career
The one who wore the colors of Nice even thought of ending his career to put an end to all these misfortunes. I have to say, it crossed my mind, I had it in the back of my mind. In retrospect, I have a winning mentality, not a loser mentality, which is why it popped into my head. But I got up because I put a lot of things into perspective, I told myself that there was worse than me continued the Rhodanian.
Of course it’s hard to get injured and have surgery, but during my recovery I had time to get involved in associations and saw children who had lost parents, or who were disabled. has given me the desire to get there. I’m lucky enough to be able to play football so I couldn’t stay in this mess , the ex-shooter put into perspective. See you in the coming months to get back on track for good.
