He had not spoken since his road accident on November 3. The vehicle driven by Kevin N'Doram, his teammate at FC Metz, got off the road violently. Manuel Cabit, the left side of Metz, was the most seriously affected. He no longer has any sensation in the legs.
First hospitalized in Reims, Cabit has been transferred for a month and a half to the CHU Strasbourg. In an interview with the Republican Lorrain, he returned to his situation, his doubts and his hopes. "I've been in a wheelchair for three weeks," he says. To the question "are you going to walk again?" ", He replies without blush:" In life anything is possible. I'm going to do everything for […] and for high-level football, I don't know but it's my dream. "
"It's a lesson in life"
Manuel Cabit has learned to put his health into perspective. “After my second back operation, the surgeon told me that I was very lucky because I had my accident near the hospital. For him, I can walk again but he cannot guarantee it 100%. It can take three months as a year. "
“I see a lot of things in the hospital that put me into perspective: some people cannot move their heads, others their bodies. It is a lesson in life. I didn't realize it on the days when I didn't want to go to training. "
Cabit admits to remembering everything, but has not had a nightmare since. “I was aware from start to finish. I tell myself that I'm alive. The Guingamp player (Editor's note: Nathaël Julan) did not have this chance. Health is the most important. I don't need fame or to be called the best footballer. It goes quickly. I was on a soccer field and, a few hours later, I found myself in the hospital. "
