Imagine being an athlete, a professional soccer player who, after a lifetime of sacrifices, is finally making it big. And, suddenly, to be paralyzed from the waist down , not as a result of an accident or trauma, but from a rare disease , whose underlying cause is also unknown.
It is not a film, but the terribly true story of Daouda Peeters , the Belgian midfielder of Juventus Next Gen , who will be in force for next season at Sudtirol on loan, who, in October 2021, when he was on loan at Standard Liège, was struck by Guillain-Barré Syndrome , an autoimmune-based polyneuropathy which affects the peripheral nervous system.
In just a few days Daouda went from running across the field to being stuck in a bed, not knowing what would happen to his future, not knowing if he could still walk.
From that moment an ordeal began that "Peet" faced with uncommon courage and which ended last March, when he was completely healed and returned to being a full-fledged player.
His incredible and moving story is now told in ** STILL ** , the latest original production by Juventus Creator Lab which through his voice, that of his family members and the professionals who followed him, tells how Daouda overcame his toughest challenge and is ready to resume his career, so much so that a few days ago he moved on loan to Südtirol, with whom he is preparing to play in the next Serie B championship.
