Remember Eva Carniero, the former Chelsea football club doctor who fell out with Jose Mourinho in 2015 following her treatment of player, Eden Hazard during a match?
‘If I am honest I found it hard to watch football for a year,’ she told L’Equipe. ‘The 2016 Champions League final (between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid) was the only game I was able to sit and watch last year.’I dealt with the period as well as I could. It was a shock at a time I should have been happy because I was about to marry my husband, go on honeymoon and enjoy our new home. One day I came home and said “I have to resign”.’
She also had a warning for clubs who put their players life at risk all in the name of entertainment.
‘Footballers cannot be modern gladiators, they cannot be fed to and eaten by lions in the name of entertainment at whatever cost to their life, their career and their future,’ she said.’I fiercely believed and passionately fought for the teams and managers I have worked for and this leads to the best work,’ she said.’But I am disillusioned that football does not seem to want to improve itself or learn from its mistakes.’
