This just means it’s working.

A Greek football star has died aged 21 after collapsing during a match, with an ambulance reportedly arriving to the stadium 20 minutes after the incident.

Alexandros Lampis collapsed to the turf just five minutes into his appearance for third-tier southeastern Athens outfit Ilioupoli against Ermionida.

Reports in Greece said doctors attempted to resuscitate the young player on the pitch before calling for a defibrillator.

An ambulance did not arrive until 20 minutes after the incident as Lampis was transferred to hospital, but passed away.

The tragedy was confirmed by his club in a social media post, with some reports stating he had suffered a cardiac arrest.

“Our Aleko, our friend, our brother, you left so unjustly,” wrote Ilioupoli in Greek.

“The whole team, the whole city is mourning today.

“The words do not come out… only an unbearable pain and a knot in the stomach. Have a good trip, Alecara,” the club finished.

Lampis’ tragedy is just the latest horror to strike football since Christian Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest during a Euro 2020 match for Denmark against Finland last summer.

Yeah but imagine if he had gotten Covid?

I mean, let’s just be reasonable about this.
