When his opponent collapsed to the ground in the throes of a heart attack, James Rodriguez intervened and helped him breathe: the video
Moments of pure terror lived in the world of football last Monday. It all happened in Qatar, where the match between Al Rayyan and Al Wakrah was being played. During the match, the footballer Coulibaly he suddenly collapsed to the ground in the throes of a heart attack. James Rodriguez, player of the opposing team, with a great past in European football, helped him and helped him breathe, before the intervention of the doctors.
It happened again. Unfortunately, episodes like this are more and more frequent in world of football.
Last Monday, in Qatar the match, valid for the major league championship in the country, was being played between the hosts of the Al Rayyan and the guests of the Al Wakrah.
During a game action, a defender of the visiting team, the Malian Ousmane Coulibaly himself is slumped suddenly on the ground in convulsions.
Naturally, the referee immediately stopped the game, requesting the immediate assistance of the doctors on the sidelines. But well before the doctors got to the pitch, a opponent soccer player he had already rescued the player.
This is James Rodriguez, Colombian footballer, former Real Madrid star. He approached his opponent and adjusted his head so that he could breathe properly.
And then the doctors did the rest, saving the life of the Al Wakrah footballer.
James Rodriguez as Simon Kjaer
It is natural that this episode inevitably brings back the memory of what happened last summer in Denmark.
The matches of the elimination rounds valid for the European football championship were taking place. All those present at Parken Stadium in Copenhagen were petrified when, during a game action, the Danish footballer Christian Eriksen collapsed to the ground.
In the general shock, a footballer was distinguished by an out of the ordinary coldness and altruism. That player was Simon Kjaer, captain of the Danish team and Eriksen’s teammate.
Kjaer prevented his partner from swallowing his tongue, thus allowing rescuers to then intervene directly with the defibrillator.
If Ousmane Coulibaly and Christian Eriksen are still in this world today, the credit is undoubtedly also by James Rodriguez and Simon Kjaer, two who have proven themselves great champions even in life, as well as in football.
