Dani Olmo He gave an interview to ‘Bild’ where he talks about his colleague Xavi Simons and revealed that he took some judo classes to learn how to fall and avoid injuries, like the one he recently suffered in his shoulder and also others, which are not few.
“The shoulder surgery was the first operation of my career. At first on the field I didn’t think it was an injury. I didn’t feel any pain and I just noticed that something was wrong. I asked the doctors to put back the my shoulder in place.” instead, but they gave the signal to replace me,” he explained. “The three ligaments that go to the collarbone were torn, which caused the bone to protrude.”
Getting over it wasn’t easy, I’ll be honest. One of the doctors in our team, Jan-Niklas Droste, had a great idea: his wife is a professional judoka. Before returning to training with the team and entering duels, I trained with him. He taught me how to fall and roll so as not to strain the affected area. It helped me a lot,” he reveals.
Olmo has also spoken about his new teammate: the PSG player on loan from Leipzig Xavi Simons. “It was a pleasure to play with him. He will be a great player and he is also a very good person. The most important thing is that he remains humble, despite the hype around him. He keeps his feet on the ground and is a good worker.” “Have I talked to him about his future? No. All I know is that he is very comfortable here, he has played a lot. We have a long season ahead of us and then the European Championship. A lot can happen.”
