Richard Coelho risked his life for a ball that fell on the back of his head. He fell down after receiving the blow. He remained stunned on the ground: his eyes were closed and he was breathing hard, his teammates who were around him took off their shirts and began to turn them around to give him fresh air and oxygen.
The footage of the accident is horrifying: you can see the player’s body, which, having been placed in the center, sways, seems to almost float, and then falls to the ground. He is overcome by the fear that something serious has happened to him.
It is the 33rd minute of the first half when the referee immediately stops the match against Atlético Mineiro: the Ceará player needs the intervention of the medical staff. Dodô’s kick is strong, hits the opponent’s head.
He is on the ground and appears unconscious. When the doctors approach him and take his head in their hands, he gives a hint of life: he is conscious, but very ill. A few minutes pass and he is loaded into the ambulance to be transported to the hospital where he will undergo extensive diagnostic tests.
