More than two weeks after his discomfort against Inter at the Artemio-Franchi stadium, Edoardo Bove, who underwent successful surgery, is doing better and came out of silence in a long post published on his account Instagram : “even if sharing on social networks is not in my nature, I would like to express a thought that struck me deeply. The unpleasant episode that occurred during Fiorentina-Inter showed me even more, as I thought, that football was much more than a match, a championship or a career. Football is a community of people, linked by the same passion, who share moments of joy, emotion, anger, disappointment and suffering. In those moments you realize how authentic this sport is, how, regardless of the results, the competition or the competition, we are all united by a bond that, once created, strengthens in the moments difficult, becoming almost indissoluble. A bond that transmits love and emotions that are difficult to explain. A bond that gives you the strength to overcome any obstacle“.

He also continued in this long message: “I’m talking about it because I’ve experienced it personally in recent days: the affection I received, the warmth of the supporters, the support of my teammates and my opponents, the proximity of the ENTIRE world of football, it’s is something that has given me incredible strength and courage. I felt surrounded by positive energy which allowed me to remain calm, not to feel the stress or the loneliness which is often present in this type of difficulty. This is why I would like us all to commit ourselves not to forget the true essence of our sport, not to let ourselves be overshadowed by its commercial side and not to take its authentic spirit for granted. Because despite everything, what happened on Sunday bears witness to the true nature of football: one that thrives on real emotions, personal stories and a strong bond between those who play and those who support“. As a reminder, with the implantation of a defibrillator, the young Italian midfielder will have to continue his career outside Italy due to strict regulations.
