Abbas injured himself in the war - football helped him back

SVT's reporter, Samir Abu Eid, met Abbas Yusifov in Azerbaijan.

See the meeting where Abbas talks about his love for football and why it was extra important to him after the accident.

It was in October last year that Abbas stepped on a mine during the war.

In March he finished his rehabilitation and in April he started playing football.

- When you play football, you become less passive, you become healthier and feel better. Then you do not feel as isolated from your surroundings, says Yusifov, who before the accident worked as an officer in the Azerbaijani army.
