Covid-19 attack left me in state of shock and psychotic, reveals Blaise Matuidi

2018 FIFA World Cup winner Blaise Matuidi has fully recovered after being contracted with the Covid-19, but he revealed how the condition left him in ‘shock’ and ‘total panic’. Not only that, but he was even ‘psychotic’ when after being detected he was not able to do normal things on a day to day basis. Juventus teammates Daniele Rugani and Paulo Dybala were the other two players to have been struck by the deadly virus.

“When I tested positive, I couldn’t even go out shopping. It made me psychotic. You always try to make sure people aren’t too close, you have to be mentally strong. It’ll take time, this is a new situation for all of us,” said Blaise Matuidi, as reported by Football Italia.

“I had no symptoms but, as soon as I heard the news, I was in shock. I was in total panic, I feared for my family and friends. It was difficult for them, but I was able to reassure them. It’s not a good time, we really want this to end as soon as possible. I ask myself what will happen to football and everyday life,” added the footballer.

For the time being, football is suspended in Italy due to the Covid-19 outbreak, even though there have been constant efforts to resume the league as soon as possible.
