Since the end of his professional football career, “El Pocho” has encountered serious mental complications.
After being hospitalized last December in Uruguay, following a domestic accident, Ezequiel Lavezzi was again admitted to a clinic on Saturday in Buenos Aires (Argentina). Initially, the rumor of an overdose arose, before being denied by the son of the former Paris Saint-Germain player.
Argentine journalist Estefania Berardi provides some new information regarding this dark affair. “Suddenly Pocho became very nervous.

He got so scared and it got so bad that he grabbed a pair of scissors and started hurting himself. His brother tried to calm him down and control the situation. Pocho is tall, that’s when things got worse and he ended up injuring his collarbone.”she revealed on the show of Carmen Barbieri, an Argentinian actress.
