🚨🇸🇳 Cheikhou Kouyate: "I suffered from a heart problem since birth. I played with it. In England, it was monitored every six months. I had medical check-ups at West Ham, Crystal Palace, and Nottingham Forest. Every time I had the tests, the problem reappeared."

"The doctors always pointed out the problem to me, but I took responsibility myself. I signed the insurance papers stating that anything that might happen to me would be my responsibility."

“Anderlecht called me in the summer to play there and also to start training as a coach. But after the medical examination, the doctor asked me to stop playing football."

"The problem is at high altitude. If I play in the heat, it hurts terribly, during and after matches. It feels like a side stitch, for about five minutes, and then it goes away. When it happens, after the match, I get painful cramps. After 24 hours, it stops."

“I never said anything. I didn’t want to be forced to stop early. I never told my family, not even the national team doctors. They didn’t know about my problem." (Waif TV via Sun Sport)

Pain is part of life. Accept it. Live through it. Learn from it. Then growth will show up quietly, almost as if by accident.

A defensive box-to-box midfielder has become a lethal finisher & match-winner at striker in his late twenties for the Premier League champions and World Cup winners. Such a unique and crazy career arc.
