BOLOGNA – Sinisa Mihajlovic has leukemia . This news has left everyone speechless. The Bologna players, who started the pre-season retreat without their coach who is blocked by these serious health problems, followed the press conference of the Serbian coach through SkyGo, while they were at the training ground, and were moved. The images were shown by Sky Sport 24 during the live TV broadcast of Mihajlovic's press conference.
The Serbian technician was moved because it was a bad blow for him but he immediately got up and declared war on the disease:
I said I had a fever to take the spotlight off and calm my wife. Even if he didn't believe it because I hadn't had a fever for twenty years. I did further tests which showed that I have leukemia.
For me it was a bad blow. I stayed in the room for two days. I cried, I reflected, it was a blow. My whole life has passed before me. Now they are in tears but they are not tears of fear. Indeed I have courage, I will face it with my head held high.
I want to beat her. Tuesday I will go to the hospital and start my battle to win it. My leukemia is in acute form but I still have chances to win so I will give everything to myself. I also announced it to my players through a video conference. I told them that I will deal with the disease as they face the games.
You have to attack the opponent to beat him. I will win this battle. I will win it for my wife, for my children, for my family. I thank all those who sent me thousands of messages but I wanted to be alone. I didn't answer him but I'm sure they'll understand me. I thank all of Bologna because they made me feel like one of the family ”.
"On February 28th I took some exams and it was all right, by the end of May as well. I did a simple blood test these days and found out I had leukemia. We all think we are invincible, but it is not. The only thing to do is try to prevent these situations. This can happen to everyone. The disease changes your life and it is easier to fight it only thanks to prevention. I hope to be able to tell that I also won this battle ".
