Italian Champion.
At 26 years old, Simone Muratore announced her retirement from sports. This name may not mean anything to you, but it is nevertheless synonymous with courage in Italy. Indeed, the former Juventus midfielder (four appearances during the 2019-2020 season) has recovered from a terrible brain tumor (neuroctyoma of the left ventricle) detected in 2021 while playing for Tondela, in the Portuguese first division. After a delicate surgical procedure and heavy treatment, Muratore managed to overcome the disease. For football, on the other hand, it has become difficult for him to make the necessary physical efforts, forcing him to hang up his boots as he announced in a press release this Saturday: “I had the chance to play with extraordinary guys, champions, on the field but especially off it, and no one will ever take that away from me. I am grateful for everything I was able to achieve on this green rectangle, with teammates who later became my friends. »
“I always tried to appear strong in the eyes of others, from the day I was diagnosed with the disease, until the day before my operation, in my mother’s room – the strongest woman I I know – when I burst into tears like a child, for fear of never waking up again”, also wrote Muratore in his very nice message.
Ultimately, life is more beautiful than we think.
