Enzo Pérez’s tears after the failure in Altamirano

There were anxious moments experienced at Stadium One in La Plata. 27 minutes of the match between Estudiantes and Boca were being played when the Chilean footballer Javier Altamirano suffered a heart attack and began having convulsions.

The Russian Ascacibar was the first to come to his aid, he began to desperately ask for help. Eduardo Domínguez rushed to help his player. “Not the car, the ambulance,” the DT shouted.

The companions looked at the situation in despair. Romero covered his face with his shirt and burst into tears. Ascacibar was heartbroken. When no one dared to touch him so as not to make the situation worse, the ambulance arrived when just two minutes had passed, which seemed like an eternity, and took him to the Platense Medical Institute.

When Altamirano was transferred, Enzo Pérez, one of the leaders of the group, could not hold back his tears.. The ex River began to cry inconsolably, like a little boy, without really knowing what had happened to his partner. The uncertainty caused the players to experience moments of discouragement.

A few minutes later, after speaking with the protagonists, referee Echenique suspended the match.

“We had no information on the real situation. They gave us a report and it seems that there was another situation… life happens before a football match. We talk about it with the players and when these things happen we have to set an example “said coach Eduardo Domínguez.

What was experienced in the locker room was very difficult: the players were crying because Javi is very loved. And his pregnant wife was here in the audience. We are desperate for her to be with him. The truth is that the Estudiantes family moved very quickly. Javi is here in front (at the Platense Medical Institute, located on 51st Street), the lady is already with him,” the DT explained.
