One of the athletes who elamat the recent Women’s World Cup, in Australia and New Zealand, was the Colombian winger Linda Caicedo. The international soccer player succeeded to score a terrific goal against the tournament favorite Germany, making all the friends of the sport talk about her skills.
This particular goal, which entered the Allianz Stadium in Sydney, is a candidate for one of the best goals of the year, the one named after Ferenc Puskas, while with her performances in Oceania she managed to get a transfer to Real Madrid at the age of 18 .
“All this makes me really happy“, were Caicedo’s first words in “The Athletic“, which may not win this great prize, but has won the biggest battle, the one for life, when at the age of 15 she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, which is extremely rare at such a young age.
“There are moments in my life when I stop to think: I was so close to not doing again, what I love so much“, confesses today one of the most talented girls in football.
The diagnosis was made at the beginning of the pandemic of the corona virus, which made the battle that the girl had to fight difficult on a psychological level as well.
“It was a constant battle. One day you’re fine and the next you’re in the hospital. You’re there every two weeks for exams and you’re constantly worried about your health. I learned to enjoy my time with my loved ones. This helped me to get rid of this bad experience“, he also said.
