He knows exactly what it is like to suffer two serious injuries to his knees. The malagueña knows what goes through the mind of an athlete when 'being a victim' of two hard setbacks ... They were both partners when Ale suffered his first injury. Now, the member of the StarVie Team she wanted to send a message of encouragement to a very special player for her.
Padel World Press .- Once again, the world of sport once again offers us a beautiful example of the camaraderie and solidarity that usually exists among its professionals, even if they become the fiercest rivals on the track (the field, the stadium, ...).
From the moment that Alejandra Salazar had to leave the grand final of the Valladolid Open, even before the extent of her injury was known, there were countless signs of affection that many players wanted to dedicate to the 'fierita'.
Once confirmed that the Madrilenian will miss the remainder of the season, Carolina Navarro dedicated a beautiful and emotional words, which we reproduce just below:
"Ale:
I am still shocked by the news, it has removed many things from me ... If someone today can put themselves in your shoes, that is me. I have gone, as you well know, through two cruciate ligament tears in 2004 (right knee) and 2006 (left knee), just as it is going to happen to you now… As you have seen in my previous injuries… It is possible! !
When I saw the knee gesture live, it transported me back to 2008… When playing our first tournament as teammates in Barcelona, in another gesture defending a ball, you fell to the ground and grabbed your knee… You broke your crusader and missed everything the season.
The other day, after seeing that bad gesture in Valladolid, we both knew from experience that this was going to be what has been confirmed. In fact, you told me: «I think I'm going to copy you on both knees» ... And I told you to copy me from the good and not from the bad ... what you will be feeling right now, that you have no choice but to take the bull by the horns ... You have to be strong in your head and have a lot of patience.
From experience I tell you that it is much easier to recover the second knee because you already know what you are going for, what awaits you and the process that is ... At the time of entering the track, you will enter with less fear.
From the heart, I look forward to your return for the next season and with the punch that characterizes you. Be the battle that lies ahead and you too ... Now, to think about the day to day and do not look further. Take your time and do not hurry.
I encourage all the work team of Ale: Manu Martin, Juan Alday and his compi, Marta Marrero.
There is one less day left for your return to the tracks. LET'S GO ALE !!
Carolina Navarro. "
