The psychologist spoke about the death of an 18 -year -old footballer
The U19 team of the Borsod team entered the home of Felsőzsolca on Tuesday. The fatal case happened in the 35th minute of the match when the guest captain collided with his own goalkeeper. The defender had to be replaced, felt bad, felt his chest, his back. An ambulance was called and taken to a hospital, where it turned out he suffered very serious internal injuries. He was surgery, but despite medical treatment, he died on Wednesday morning due to high blood loss.
Blikk reached Matthew’s girlfriend Boglárka, who was unable to comment after what had happened, but gave permission to share his farewell letter on Facebook.
« I have been looking for you ever since. In a fragrance on the street, in a sound on the subway, a familiar word I haven’t heard from anyone for a long time. Please forgive me for not telling me everything when I could. Know you and I will never be here to answer. Boglárka wrote in his farewell letter.
The terrible case shook members of both associations. At Cigánd SE on Wednesday night, the boy was remembered with a candle light. The BTE Felsőzsolca said the year-end annual closing ceremony is missed, but the next adult championship against Mezőkeresztes will be held. During its break, they will be remembered by the candle light while the reflectors are vaccinated. During the meeting, donations are collected to help the mourning parents, and the full revenue of the match is also intended for the family.
Matthew came from the Patrohar of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County, and his death village was also depleted.
« He grew up here, went to school, lived here for his childhood and young years. He was a boy we remember from the village – if not elsewhere, from the pitch, from school, a handshake or a smile. He was a new graduate, a good student, a respectable young man. -read on the Facebook page Pátroha-Community Forum.
The processing of the tragedy will be terribly difficult for many people, especially for the young goalkeeper with whom Matthew collided in the match.
– This situation definitely challenges him. If you want, or not, this will start a mourning reaction, which can be coupled with self -accusation, guilt, and anxiety. One begins to fantasize what it would have happened if, and would like to reverse the wheel of time, not to make it all done. In such cases, we are less able to think rationally, even if we know we are not responsible for what has happened. In order to actually see the situation, it is worth asking for the help of a professional. It can still be a multi -month process by the time one gets to accept the situation. Not only individual but also group therapy can be useful with the involvement of the whole team – explained to our newspaper dr. Gábor Makai clinical psychologist.
Levente Szántai, a sports psychologist and former top football goalkeeper are similar.
– This is a very serious trauma for the goalkeeper, the teammates and all the witnesses, but most of all for the family of the deceased player. In such a case, it is essential to treat the crisis, that is, reducing a crisis that occurs within the team. Therefore, it is especially important for the team members – especially the goalkeeper – to be aimed at a mental specialist. It is important to confirm that he was innocent in the collision, completed his task at the gate and a basic goal to revise internal anxiety Sántai Levente told our newspaper. – It is also the task of the psychologist to guide the team and the relatives of the deceased player throughout the mourning process so that they can experience professionally appropriate spiritual support in this tragic situation.
The former excellent goalkeeper and former federal captain János Csank was informed at a Heves County Cup Final of the young player’s death news. He was shocked.
– It is incomprehensible what happened. This is a fatal tragic sports accident The former excellent goalkeeper began to be interested in our newspaper. – It’s a terrible feeling for everyone. For anyone, but especially a young player, process the tragedy that he has caused a death injury to his teammate, and I will hardly be surprised with my statement, but it will be very difficult. However, you will have to move on and accept the fact that it was an accident. I did not see the specific moment, but I know that the goalkeepers have a special movement on the pitch, as they play against everyone during the game and release forces that can cause injury to a jump or collision. It is important that you communicate firmly when you come out for a submission, for example. Because of the incident, I am, of course, divided. It can be terrible for the family, the team to make a living.
