Fiorentina, Barak’s drama: "I risked ending up like Eriksen"

Fiorentina midfielder Antonin Barak in an interview with diretta.it unveiled the illness that struck him in the summer: "I could have ended up like Christian Eriksen who had an illness on the pitch at the last European Championships".

The Czech player è stayed out for a long time and è returned only at the end of September, then playing only excerpts of matches: "It seemed like a simple thing and instead è became bilateral pneumonia, with effusion in the lungs up to the pericardium and hospitalization".

Barak then recounted how he was one step away from Napoli: "At the end of the 21/22 season it was already almost done with Napoli, but we could not close becauseé they delayed the transfer of Fabian Ruiz, in whose place I should have arrived. In the end, Napoli received an’offer to bring midfielder Ndombele from Tottenham almost for free. I was very angry at the time, but in hindsight I don’t blame them at all for choosing that route".
