The translation of Eduardo's interview for Jutarnji List
- I feel well, unlike yesterday when the pain was horrible, I feel no pain
today. I'm sorry I didn't answer anyone's calls, but the pain was unbearable.
How did you feel in the moment of the tragic tackle by Martin Taylor?
- I was very afraid when I saw my leg...
You saw the "torn off" part of the body?
- I was only afraid in the very first moment., later, in the hospital, I was
only nervous. I felt the uncertainty of how it will all end, I didn't know the
details about the injury.
Is it all more clear to you now?
- I still don't know if only one or both of the bones are broken.
Ten reporters and three television companies from Croatia went to London on
Sunday morning. You haven't closed the door shut as you were ordered by the
Arsenal spokeswoman?
- After I heard that all of Croatia is worried about my football future, I had
to make contact. I want to thank the Croatian FA, the staff, the team mates who
called me and were worried about my career. I thank the reporters, the fans and
everyone who's given me support on the Internet.
You're back in London?
- The transport from Birmingham to London went well. I'll stay in a London
hospital for a couple of weeks and then they'll let me go to Zagreb. I'll
recuperate gradually there...
Did Martin Taylor visit you or called you to apologize?
- As far as I remember, he didn't stop by.
Would you accept his apology for such a brutal tackle?
- Of course I would, that's life, I don't blame him. These things happen in
football.
This will be a "black" birthday.
- We're not going to celebrate, but I'm happy I have my family with me and
everyone's support.
Everyone in Brazil knows about your injury?
- Yes, and they're all shocked.
Everyone's worried about your career.
- I'm the only one who's not worried, I'm convinced I'll be back and will be
as good as I was.
You spoke to the NT manager
- Of course, he gave me his support.
- I saw my daughter Lorena, I definitely feel better now.
- I don't know when I'll be back and I don't know when I'll be playing
football again. But, I will play.
He didn't want to name his London hospital, but he can't wait to go to Zagreb.
He also had to call of his phone number and get a new one because of the amount
of calls he was getting.
