Hey, dear fellows of scorum, thank you very much for your support in my last post, I will never tire of saying thank you. This week I am super motivated to write, we have that majestic airdrop so you will see me writing every day until the end of the world cup, also as you will see today scorum had an excellent update, adding amazing features. I must say that the team is doing a great job with the development of the platform, I hope that this year is already ready to crown us as the best platform in the world of cryptos. I always like to do some reflection, or just tell my thoughts on some topic. Today while I was watching the posts in the "hot" section, I came across one about the Nhl, I started doing some research about the sport and ended up on a 2007 news page, talking about the injury that Clint Malarchuk suffered. That gave me an idea to make a post about the worst injuries that have happened in the world of sports.
Today we will see closely the case of the worst injury suffered by a footballer. (At least visually speaking and without it getting to kill him)
Without a doubt, no sport is exempt from accidents and what we are going to see today is a clear example of this. The history of football has been marked by moments that have made us thrill and even cry but also has its dark side, there are even cases in which the field is witness to the death of players and shocking scenes.
The year is 1981, Ewald Lienen was a midfielder of German origin with a career of about 10 years, was playing a game that did not have much importance in Bremen among the newly promoted Werder and Arminia Bielefeld, however unknowingly Ewald ended up being the protagonist of one of the most disturbing and painful images you can see on a soccer field. A moment that marked his career and his life forever.
The game started very normal, time ran calmly and the fans attended the game with passion, although the calm did not last long. In the 20th minute of the first half, Ewald was making an offensive move towards Werder's goal, arriving on the left wing when he was suddenly intercepted by a hard and violent entry by defender Norbert Siegmann, who came to hit the tacos of aluminum from his shoe to the thigh of Ewald's leg.
Ewald immediately clutches his head and begins to scream and cry of pain, to twist and kick on the lawn while Siegmann raises his arms to show that he had not done anything. Nobody knew what was happening, the referee approached Siegmann and took out a yellow card, Ewald was trying to get up with tears of pain in his face but he did not succeed on the first try, at that precise moment Ewald sees his leg and screams horrified to see a cut of 25 cm that opened his thigh; , flesh, and bones could be seen and the cameras took pictures non-stop.
Ewald despite this, was completely consumed by anger and rage, limped up and went to the bench of Werder Bremen, the paramedics came to him to help but he was completely possessed by anger and went straight to the coach of the rival team, to which I point furious and reproached him that it had been his fault, the situation was due to the fact that Werder's coach (Otto Rehhagel) had motivated Siegmann to injure Ewald. While the rest of the team of paramedics approached, everyone was stunned to witness the cut that crossed the thigh of the German midfielder.
After that he was removed from the game on a stretcher, while still enraged he threatened with Rehhagel's fist, the wound required 23 stitches and a recovery of almost 20 days. Although the story does not end here, the fact had repercussions for almost everyone involved.
After the recovery, Ewald took to court Rehhagel and Siegmann, claiming that it had been a planned attack, but the justice denied the complaint because the football players ran such risks because it is part of the job.
Otto Rehhagel was shot by a hail of criticism after that terrible day, and he was forced to put on a bulletproof vest in Bielefeld's game. While Siegmann received constant death threats and received the nickname "The Butcher", he ended up retiring 5 years later and becoming a Buddhist so that he could carry everything that had happened.
