Last December, Marc Overmars (50), the former Dutch international passed by Barça, was the victim of a violent stroke. This Sunday, the current sports director of Royal Antwerp FC in Belgium confided in the media Het LaatsteNieuws about his accident. “I have to catch my breath when I talk a lot and I need energy to stay focused. My heart is 45% dead. But don’t feel sorry for me. I am a happy man, I just have to distribute my energy as best as I can,” first explained the man who had been forced to leave Ajax Amsterdam after a case of sexual harassment.
“If there are important points or meetings on the agenda, I focus on them. I can recover the next day. I’d rather die here than do nothing,” continues Overmars. His club Royal Antwerp FC also took the lead in the championship this Sunday after their victory against Genk (2-1).
