Terrible images. While Fiorentina hosted Inter Milan this Sunday afternoon for the 14th day of Serie A, the match was definitively stopped shortly after Edoardo Bove collapsed in the middle of the pitch. Quickly, many players came to meet him to prevent him from choking.
A crowd was created as the people present on the benches of the two teams formed a circle around the young player while the doctors took care of the midfielder. Many images from Italy show the concern of the players, but also of the referee.
