Lo svedese si emoziona parlando con Thijs Slegers, che recentemente aveva annunciato di essere malato terminale: "Ti voglio bene"
Zlatan Ibrahimovic he was moved speaking with Thijs Slegers, a journalist who over time has become a friend of the Swede and who recently said he was terminally ill due to leukemia with which he has been battling since 2020. “When I was young and lost – Ibra told ESPN – I didn’t know anyone in the Netherlands (at the time of Ajax, ed). A journalist contacted me and we went to dinner: from that moment we became friends. Thijs helped me, we always stayed in touch and he will always be in my heart.” Then, with his voice breaking with emotion, the AC Milan forward addressed Slegers directly, equally in tears: “I just want to tell you that I love you my friend”.
Thijs Slegers is a journalist for Football International but is well known in the world of football for having held the position of press officer of PSV Eindhoven. About ten days ago he had made his condition known in a very direct way to push people to donate stem cells and blood: “I can no longer be helped, but others can”. An appeal that has garnered widespread acclaim in the Netherlands, PSV also exhibited billboards in the stadium, up to the live show to raise awareness in which, among others, Ibra was also a guest.
