Yesterday I saw some shocking images on TV when I was watching BBC’s Match of The Day.
In the match between Arsenal and Birmingham City, Eduardo da Silva broke his leg after a mean tackle by Martin Taylor from Birmingham.
Only 3 minutes in the play he tackled Eduardo. He’s certainly out for the rest of the season and maybe his whole football career is at stake. I certainly hope he’ll be back as soon as possible.
With this injury he even can’t go to the European Championship in a couple of months.
Arsenals manager Arsene Wenger was furious after Taylor’s tackle and said that Taylor has to be banned from playing football ever again. But after the match when everyone calmed down a bit he took back his words.
Martin Taylor himself is devastated with Eduardo’s injury and hopes he gets well soon.
This reminds me of a Belgian player who played in the Premier League for Sheffield Wednesday a couple of years back. Luc Nilis had to end his career after he collided with another player. Hopefully Eduardo can play again!
On YouTube you can find some clips showing the tackle and replay, but I’m not going to show you these ones. I found another movie with still images of the tackle.
I warn you, if you’re little bit faint herded, don’t push play!!!
