Napoli coach Genaro Gattuso took advantage of the New Year’s Eve dates to send a positive message, while talking about the disease he suffers from in one of his eyes and for which he has appeared with a patch in the last matches.
“I want to say something to the guys who don’t look handsome in the mirror: Life is beautiful and you have to face it without hiding. I know my players suffered seeing me like that. I read that I was dead and that I have a month to live. Don’t worry, I’m not dying. I’m alive. “
The former Italian footballer suffers from a disease called myasthenia gravis, and at the press conference he appeared without the patch, with the affected eye partially closed.
“I have myasthenia, I’ve been suffering from it for ten years, it’s the third time it’s hit me. This time it was strong, but everything will happen, the eye will be fixed. I see double, it’s hard to stand up, just crazy like me can achieve-.
“I don’t like living moments like that, but I accept it because there are worse things in life. I do what I like, this is my life and if I have to decide how to go, I want it to be where I spent it all. my existence: in the countryside, ”he added.
