Obituary issued by the Nassarawa Club.
For all players who play football, joining the giants and becoming a star may be their lifelong dreams. But for Cheme Martins, his life has faded before he has time to bloom.
Last week, the Nigerian Bundesliga went on as usual, with one of the stadiums where Nasarawa United played against Katsina United. There are no giants and no stars. This should be an ordinary contest, but because of the unexpected death of Cheme Martins, this unknown league and this humble game have been in the tide of news push. Taken so much attention.
Martins was in a coma after colliding with an opposing player.
During the game, Martins fell into shock after colliding with an opponent. Through the online video, we can only see the panic crowds taking emergency measures around them, and Martins who is unaware of this.
The ambulance on the sideline was untimely unable to start because of an engine failure, and finally, a media vehicle took the coma to the hospital. Unfortunately, due to missing the golden period of treatment, Martins' life is always fixed at 22 years old.
The Sri Lankans have gone to discuss whether this tragedy is a natural disaster or a human disaster, and can no longer save that living life. But through Martins' short life, we may be able to restore an ordinary person who is not ordinary for the sake of dreams.
In the vast online world, there is very little information about Martins, but it is certain that he was born in the not-rich African country Nigeria. In this oil-rich country, the average annual salary for players in the most popular local league, the Nigerian League A, is only over 6,000 pounds (6,000 pounds is equivalent to about 50,000 yuan).
At the same time, if you play here, you must always build up your mentality, because you may often face a series of tests such as wage arrears and violence. During the World Cup in Russia, relatives of Nigerian international Mikel were abducted. This living environment makes all dreams extravagant and out of reach.
"Transfer Market" 's official website, there is very little information about Martins. There is no avatar under his name.
Martins's home is here.
As a kid, he might play barefoot in the mud with his buddies, or he might use the plastic bag to make Messi's jersey on the body like the little ball mystery that touched the world a few years ago ... It may be difficult for us to trace back to why he got involved with football, but from the descriptions of his teammates and coaches, it is not difficult to see that this young man's dedication and love for football.
Martins was the last person to get into the team's bus before Nassarawa's match with Katsina. Martins had a small wish in mind at the time: After this game, he wanted to rest for a few days.
According to Martins's plan at the time, he just wanted to give himself a two-to-three-day vacation, and he could reunite with his teammates in the middle of the week to prepare for the next game. On the way to the stadium, his teammates joked with him, "How do you like the game so much."
But frankly, Martins doesn't seem to be a talented player. Three seasons ago, he joined Nassarawa United from Ubach Football Club. According to the available data, he has played very few times for the team, and there are few news about him on the Internet. Report. In the eyes of his teammates, he was quiet and quiet. As a defender, Martins on the field will not use rude means to defend.
Former coach recalls Martins.
After the start of the new season, Martins wants to seize every opportunity to prove himself. His performance on the court has gradually been affirmed, and everyone believes that this season will be the best season in his career. The current coach of the team boasted that he was "an important part of the team and a promising great player." The former coach of Nassarawa United believed that Martins was "a disciplined, dedicated and trustworthy young people."
If the accident doesn't happen, Martins's career may come to a turning point someday in the future. His self-discipline and efforts may win the favor of foreign clubs. He is very likely to play in a league with better treatment and better environment. He may also go to Europe and he may be the next Sa. Rach ...
But life is impermanent, Martins "falls like a tree", all his football-related dreams crashed at this moment.
After experiencing unpredictable bad news, many people will rethink the meaning of life. German philosopher Heidegger put forward the concept of "living to death". The human life process is indeed constantly moving towards death. We have no way to choose the end point of life, but we can choose the way to go this long or short. journey of.
After learning that Martins died, his teammates cried.
Mu Xin once said: "Fortunately, life is meaningless, so that it can tolerate its own meaning. If life is meaningful, but this meaning is not my interest, then it is embarrassing."
In this way, although Martins' life is short, his life with football is not alone. Although he fell on the road to dreaming, it was probably the only misfortune in life that could accompany his passion when he left.
For all, life is accidental, and death is inevitable. All encounters will eventually leave, but the way of saying goodbye is different. Facing the unknown tomorrow, I hope that we can all live as Martins did during his lifetime, and be a person who has worked hard for his dreams. (Author Xing Rui)
