Brian Fernández’s goal against Deportivo Morón
Brian Fernández’s health once again set off alarms after the message he shared on social networks in the last few hours went viral. The forward, who joined Almirante Brown’s squad at the beginning of the year, published a phrase that triggered questions about the moment he is going through at the same time that he is undergoing a rehabilitation process for addictions.
“Help me God, please get me out of this hole,” the 29-year-old soccer player wrote on his Instagram profile @brianfernandez_38, after reposting the phrase “may May be a band-aid for the soul and a month of success for everyone. May all good things come to pass for us”, from the “idesvelame” account.
After his departure amidst controversy from Morelia in Mexico just a month after his signing, the Primera Nacional B club decided to open its doors to him and also provided him with daily company beyond the football focus in order to help him in his rehabilitation. . “They gave me my apartment, my things, they told me to handle myself in my own way, that they are not going to interfere in my life. Yes, they will accompany me in the decisions I make. They make my life very calm, too calm. I have to learn to live with myself alone. It is very difficult for them to understand you, but for them to understand, be able to accompany you and not leave you alone. The most important thing is not to leave him alone. If you leave him alone, it’s worse. If you walk away, it’s worse. If you don’t write to him, it’s a damage,” Fernández had explained at the end of February.
Brian Fernández’s post
Brian had his official debut with the Frigate shirt a few days after that interview, against Aldosivi in Mar del Plata. Since then, he played seven games (one as a starter, against Deportivo Morón) and scored a goal in that duel against Gallito. His last call-up was in the matchday 11 match against Temperley on Saturday, April 13, in which he came on from the substitute bench. However, he did not appear on the scoresheet in the following three matches against Estudiantes de Río Cuarto, Brown de Adrogué and Almagro.
During the last few days, Isidro Casanova’s entity confirmed the departure of coach Rodrigo Alonso and appointed the historic Daniel Bazán Vera in his place, who began his cycle against Almagro. It must be taken into account that Indio is the team’s third coach this year, since Alonso had replaced Facundo Villalba at the beginning of February. With one win, five draws and seven losses, Almirante is in second-to-last place in its area along with Brown de Adrogué.
Brian Fernández had a successful sporting start in Defensa y Justicia de Florencio Varela that pushed him to make the leap to Racing, where he shone, but the first warning lights about his behavior also began to be seen. After passing through Sarmiento de Junín and Metz in France, he arrived in Chile where it seemed that his career was picking up again: “My best moment was when I started in 2018 with Unión La Calera, where I had a divine campaign. Then they sold me to Necaxa of Mexico, where I also scored many goals in a few games. Then I went to the United States where I continued scoring goals, achieving personal goals.” It was at the Portland Timbers where he ended up being fired for “failing to comply with the Substance Abuse Program.”
After that event, Brian ended up accumulating a handful of games from 2020 onwards with the shirts of Colón de Santa Fe, Ferro Carril Oeste, Brown de Puerto Madryn and the aforementioned time in Morelia before his arrival in Almirante.
In the note he had provided with DSports Radio, he acknowledged that his problems with addictions came when his career was on the rise: “When I had success, I honestly couldn’t handle it. “I wasn’t fit to do it.”
And he explained: “Before I set foot on the street, I think about whether it works for me or not. I learned it here. Does it help if I go to Santa Fe alone? Does it help if I go dancing one day? I try to know if it works for me or not, if I will be fine the next day or not. I try to look at that side. Many times they tell you everything is fine when in reality everything was not fine. Leaving a game and going to Santa Fe directly, returning the next day at dawn. That wasn’t good. We all celebrate together, and then? Who is training the next day? Only me. My friends or the people I counted on at that time are not there.”
