Edoardo Bove posts first message after cardiac arrest: “See you soon… on the pitch.” | OneFootball

Edoardo Bove posted his first message to the fans that were worried following his collapse on the pitch from two weeks ago.

In a post on Instagram, Bove addressed his health condition and shared an update regarding his future.

“Hello everyone, in these difficult days I have had the opportunity to think a lot.

Although sharing on social media is not in my nature, I would like to express a thought that has struck me deeply.

The unpleasant episode that occurred during Fiorentina-Inter has shown me, even more than I thought, that football is much more than a match, a championship, or a career.

Football is a community of people, linked by the same passion, who share moments of joy, emotion, anger, disappointment and suffering.

It is precisely in these moments that I realize how genuine this sport is, how, beyond the results, the competition or the rivalry, we are all united.

United by a bond that, once created, is strengthened in moments of difficulty, becoming almost indissoluble.

A bond that transmits love and emotions that are difficult to explain.

A bond that gives you the strength to overcome any obstacle.

I’m talking about it because I’ve experienced it firsthand these days: the affection I’ve received, the warmth of the fans, the support from my teammates and opponents, the closeness of the WHOLE football world has been something that has given me incredible strength and courage.

I felt surrounded by a positive energy that has allowed me to remain calm, to not feel the loneliness that is often present in this type of difficulty.

For this reason, I would like us all to commit ourselves to not forgetting the true essence of our sport, to not let ourselves be overshadowed by its commercial side and to not take its authentic spirit for granted.

Because despite everything, what happened on Sunday is evidence of the genuine part of football: the one that feeds on real emotions, personal stories and a strong bond between those who play and those who support.

Having said that, I am truly grateful to belong to this world and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the affection and closeness you have shown me!

I am fine and this is the most important thing!

See you soon… On the pitch!”
