Pedro Chagas Freitas, one of the best-known Portuguese writers today, used the social network Facebook, this Friday morning, to mourn the death of a young handball player who was “a leader on and off the field”.
“Life is a bitch sometimes. We don’t understand where injustice comes from. It leaves us bewildered, lacking an explanation, a reason for the rubbish that sometimes throws us in the face. It seems that life sometimes spits us out, with a cruelty that we don’t know where it comes from, why it comes“, he began by writing.
“Paulo was a young man. I didn’t know him personally, but I know he was an ace. He grew up around handball. He was Xico’s captain, a leader on and off the field. A source of pride for Guimarães. He was an example. A champion. This is how he will always be remembered. A champion of life does not fade in the face of death. Never. No way. We will never give you that power. Here’s a big hug to family and friends. May they find courage and strength“, added the writer.
