“I can only eat through a tube.” Interviews of football players after a terrible collision on the field

It hurts very much. The match of the 28th round of the first league “Falcon”-“Homeland” was supposed to go unnoticed for an ordinary fan, but everyone was discussing that day. The reason, unfortunately, was not a chic goal or an incredible sail, but a terrible collision of the goalkeeper of the Saratovites Nikita Karabashev and the defender of Muscovites Georgy Yudintsev. Both players lost consciousness and were urgently hospitalized. Video collisions, contacted Karabashev and Yudintsev to ask about his health and memories of a terrible clash.PFC Sokol Nikita Karabashev: – How do you feel? Doctors have already let go home?
– Yes. I lay in the hospital for three days. They diagnosed – a concussion and fracture of the lower part of the jaw. Yesterday they transferred to another hospital, there were no operation. I only put a lock for my jaw. – How long to walk with him?
– Month. And all this time I can only eat through a tube. But my health is normal. – What are the recovery dates?
– If it weren’t for a fracture, he would have already rushed into battle. A week later I would have asked for training. But because of the fracture, he dropped out, at least for a month.- What did the episode with a collision look like?
– If not for the video, I would not even remember how I received an injury. I remember the corner, after which the removal went, and all – I wake up in the ambulance. I don’t remember how it went to the ball. What was the first thought when he woke up in the ambulance?
– I did not understand where I am. The wife stood nearby, then the goalkeeper coach came in. I first asked: “What account?” When they said that they had lost, he was upset. – How did you react when I first watched the video of the episode?
– Honestly, I was surprised: “How easily got off?” In the video, the moment looked much worse. He worried about the guy he faced because he had made a somersault. Yes, and I lay down on the twine. It was scary – I could not believe that I was on this video. Previously, on the Internet, he stumbled upon such videos, but could not imagine that once this would happen to me. – Was it discussed with Yudintsev?
– Yes. We lay in the same ward and both did not understand how this could happen to us. But with him, too, everything is fine – a slight stretching of the cervical region and a concussion. We can say that I got a little easier than me. George is still in the clinic, but this is due to the fact that it is from another city. He will be held in the hospital a little longer, so that he could get home normally.fcrodina.com Georgian Yudece:– When are you returning to Moscow?
– Today, by train. I don’t know yet what examinations I will undergo. As I come, our doctor will direct me. By the deadlines of the return, I also can’t say yet – now I only come to normal state. I feel much better, only the neck hurts a little. Some minimum consequences of the concussion remained, but there is practically nothing compared to the first day.– Nikita Karabashev said that you were in the same ward.
– Yeah. We quickly found a common language, supported each other. He is a local, his wife brought some things: slippers, hygiene products. Exchanged contacts, maintain contact. Today he visited me, wished good luck. I also wish him a speedy recovery and all the best. He is a great guy. Of course, it is unpleasant to remember this, but I'm glad that everything ended well for both of us.– Your story received a great response in the press. Got a lot of messages?
– Very, a whole flurry. I am insanely grateful to everyone, it was very pleasant to read the words of support. I would have shook your hand for everyone who wrote to me. It really helped me a lot.– What was the last memory before the collision?
– I remember how I wanted to catch up with the ball. The goal was only to take control of it.– If a similar moment happens in the future, will your actions be the same?
– Probably, I will be more careful. But in the moment with a collision it was difficult to predict how it would end. Everything turned out very episodic.– You, unlike Nikita Karabashev, came to your senses right on the field. What was the first thought?
– At first I did not understand what happened, and where I am. He said that everything is fine and I can continue to play. But then I saw an ambulance and realized how serious everything was.– What did you think about when I was reviewing the episode?
– That I really scared everyone around. A terrible moment.– After arriving at the hospital, there were no bad thoughts?
– No. I immediately found out how Nikita was there. Then he called his relatives. They and teammates were scared more.– What can you say, how is the person who went through such a terrible moment?
– Be careful and take care of yourself. Do not worry your loved ones and bypass injuries.
