Even in one of the most difficult moments of his career, midfielder Jair demonstrated enormous greatness. After the confirmation of his serious knee injury, which will sideline him for the rest of the season, the Vasco player took to social media to send a message of strength. In addition, he made a noble appeal, asking for an end to the attacks on the Sport player involved in the incident.
Since Sunday’s match, full-back Aderlan from Sport has been suffering attacks on social media because of the play that injured Jair. In a gesture of great character, the Vasco midfielder intervened. He asked for the insults to stop and revealed that his opponent had reached out. Jair stated:
“[He] called me to see how I was doing.”

In his message, Jair also spoke about the future. He acknowledged the tough challenge ahead, but promised to give his all to return to the pitch. The midfielder declared:
“Once again, the dreaded injury takes me away from the pitch. Plans will be postponed and new challenges will come, but I will give my best once again, in this recovery and in every obstacle that comes my way.”
Tests confirmed a multi-ligament injury in the athlete’s right knee. The diagnosis is serious and will require surgery, with an estimated recovery time of eight to nine months. Vasco, in a show of support, has already confirmed that it will renew the player’s contract, which was set to expire in December.
