What happened to ‘Matador’ on Sunday? The relative dismisses the rumours

Luis Tejada, the eternal scorer of the Panamanian team, was talking with his teammates under a mango tree when he began to suffer.

This is one of the clarifications given by his cousin, Eric Hansell, after numerous rumors flooded social networks.

Hansell emphasized that Tejada did not play or collapse on the field, as reported on digital platforms.

He also made it clear that he did not see that fateful Sunday, January 28 Bound without an energy drink.

“They talked a lot about him collapsing while playing, but he came on as a substitute and finished the game from the bench. Then we went to talk,” Hansell told El Marcador.

During that conversation, Tejada told him to his friends that he has chest pains. Although someone present suggested he go to the polyclinic, he refused.

“We were sitting, he touched his chest, started drinking water and poured it on his head. Then he told us he was fine and asked for a beer. Another colleague told him his sugar was low and went to buy him a red soda.” , he added.

At that point, Tejada commented that his family would be fine if anything happened to him.

“At that moment, the soda arrived. Matador just kissed the soda and slipped to the side. Our teammates took him to the clinic in an ambulance,” he added.

He also emphasized that Matador has a rule not to play after “lifting night”.

On the other hand, he thanked for the expressions of affection shown after the death of the Panamanian idol.

“He always said that people love him more than the president of the republic,” he said.
