📹 Militão on injuries: I nearly quit football | OneFootball

Éder Militão had to overcome one of the most challenging periods of his career, after two serious surgeries, with long recoveries and more than a year away from the pitch.

Back at work with Real Madrid and called up to the Brazilian National Team, the defender opened his heart as he recalled the difficult phase, during which he considered quitting football at the age of 27.

The São Paulo academy graduate also made a point of praising Carlo Ancelotti, current coach of the national team and his former manager at Real Madrid.

“We talked a lot, and he’s someone who will add a lot to the National Team. He’s incredible, has a big heart, and a career that speaks for itself," he said.

Since joining the Spanish club, Éder Militão has played 180 matches, with 13 goals and four assists.

This season, the defender has seven games and one goal for Los Blancos, showing he is fully recovered.
