Doctor who was once depressed: Morata even wanted to give up football before the European Cup, but could not resist evil comments

June 17, 06, MovistarPlus premiered today's personal documentary, which reveals the depression and panic attacks that Morata experienced in the later stages of his time at Atletico Madrid, how he recovered with the help of experts, and his experience from separation to reunion with his partner Alice.

Last October Morata revealed his mental health problems, which prompted him to leave Atletico Madrid to join AC Milan, and then transfer to Galatasaray half a year later.

Morata recalled in the documentary: "I was afraid of everything, filled with terrible thoughts of self-destruction. I even thought about pretending to be injured and avoiding the game. My brain would make up all kinds of reasons to avoid the source of pain. It was like being in a black room, everyone staring at me. Terrible sounds and images kept flashing in my mind. "

Two months before the start of the European Cup, Morata consulted a psychiatrist at the suggestion of his wife Alice. According to the doctor, Morata even wanted to give up football at that time: "When he was first diagnosed, he suffered unimaginable pain, out of extreme tension and deep depression. He did not want to participate in the European Cup, and even wanted to give up football, as if he had lost his skin to resist external comments and maliciousness."

Morata said that in addition to drug treatment, the support of Iniesta (also experienced player depression) and others helped him survive the European Cup. He particularly thanked Spanish coach De La Fuente for his trust: "When I was in the darkest moment of my life, he chose to believe me. On the human level, he is the best coach I have ever encountered. Not only understand my dilemma, but also bear it together like I experienced it myself."

Alice also talked about the insults they faced in the documentary: "When going to the stadium, you have to face groups of insults, walk on the street and encounter provocations, and some even speak ill of their children... He said that as long as you answer, you have to answer I'll get anxious when touching football. I've experienced similar situations, so I took him to the doctor who cured me. "

After the European Cup, Morata and Alice were separated for a time. Alice explained this: "I can't accept myself, and he is also in self-denial. When neither of them can show their best side, they will only convey negative energy to each other, this collision is neither healthy nor normal. This is not a love crisis, but a meeting of two wounded souls."
