"You always try to make sure people aren't too close, you have to be mentally strong. It'll take time, this is a new situation for all of us.
"I had no symptoms but, as soon as I heard the news, I was in shock. I was in total panic, I feared for my family and friends. It was difficult for them, but I was able to reassure them. It's not a good time, we really want this to end as soon as possible. I ask myself what will happen to football and everyday life."
