  Rest in peace, Dani Jarque. I am so…vexed. Yeah, vexed is a good word. Footballers are in peak physical condition. Trained to stay healthy, eat right, take care of themselves, and in addition have the best medical staff in the world taking care of them. It’s amazing that such tragedies can happen to these players.

  This is a very sad story. 26. That is much too young. My thoughts go out to his family, teammates and his friends. Rest In Peace.

  R.I.P Dani. He probably had an underlying heart condition like Antonio Puerta.
