Soccer players are always exposed to receiving hard blows and heavy falls inside the field of play. In it Mexican soccer was very close to experiencing a great tragedy. While the Apertura final was taking place between Toluca and Cruz Azul, a hard blow from José Manuel Cruzalta totally knocked out one of the promises of Aztec football, César Villaluz. Then from 14 years after that terrifying scene, the former Cruz Azul recounted more details of the incident.
“That was a ball that Lugo threw at me , I see it in the air and out of the corner of my eye I see the defender coming , I wanted to anticipate the defender to stop it with my chest and profile myself to the area, but the cassette was erased, it put me to sleep until I woke up in the hospital . I lost consciousness, the doctor told me that he was awake but I don’t remember anything . Already in the ambulance I asked what he was doing there, that I was playing a Final and they explained the blow to me “ , explained the former soccer player in an interview with Toño Valdés, posted on his YouTube channel.
No clear memories of that blow in the Mexican soccer final
The curious thing about the Villaluz case is that a large part of his testimonies are constructions made by their own classmates. The soccer player lost the memories of that moment when he was on the pitch struggling to get back on the pitch.
“When (Gerardo) Torrado He went to see me at the hospital, he told me that while I was on the field they put serum on me , which also They gave an injection to stop the seizures and prevent them from becoming chronic. In the hospital, Torrado told me I was crazy, that after the blow they gave me serum and I ripped it off screaming that I wanted to get back on the court“, reported Villaluz.
A race that was in free fall
After that incident, Villaluz’s promises of success were left behind. The Mexican, after passing through Cruz Azul, played in teams such as Tigres de la UANL, San Luis, Chiapas, Celaya, Cacereño, San Pedro, Oaxaca and his last Cancun FC team . Until now the Aztec of 00 years of age is without equipment.
