He had initially planned to cross Corsica from east to west to reach Ajaccio.
But the games played behind closed doors due to the coronavirus epidemic have been a game-changer.
Hugo Aine will not be present at the François Coty stadium for the coming of Chambly this Saturday (7 p.m.) on the occasion of the 12th day of Ligue 2.
The confrontation between AC Ajaccio (17th, 11 pts), the club where he had signed a one-year pro contract in May 2015 after being trained there, and Chambly (last, 7 pts), which he had joined in the summer of 2016 in National, the former defender will follow her on television.
At home, in Moriani-Plage, south of Bastia, where he resettled with his family and where he now lives, a little over three years after this match of the 9th day of National against the Red Star where he came close to the worst.
After 25 minutes of play, Hugo Aine suffered a heart attack on the lawn of the Bauer stadium in Saint-Ouen and was evacuated to the hospital where myocarditis was subsequently detected.
Suffering from a crippling arrhythmia problem, he was forced to end his career in October 2018.
“I am still in the papers because it is not administratively settled, indicates Hugo Aine.
I'm still in a work accident, so I can't project myself too much.
I am in the dark at this level, but otherwise things are going well three years later.
In terms of health, everything is stable.
"
The former player, who will celebrate his 25th birthday on December 11, was even allowed to put on sneakers a year ago.
“I have the right to one jog a week, at a more than moderate pace,” indicates Hugo Aine.
When I do it, it's usually on the mat, so it's controlled and there is zero risk.
It's a mini activity, but it's already better than nothing.
For the mind, it's super important.
It's a breath of fresh air.
Especially when you have been a high level athlete, taking a minimum is essential.
It is vital.
"
"Now I am in a new phase of my reconstruction"
Having come back from afar after having escaped the worst, he savored every moment.
"If there is health and I can do one jog a week, that suits me very well," said the former player.
I adapt to this new life.
I have projects, but I didn't plan too much for something concrete, I'm waiting for everything to be settled. ”
When he had to put his crampons away for good at 22, his agents suggested that he join their company.
“I started,” says Hugo Aine.
Then I realized it was too soon, and I needed to let go, to get out of it all. "
He then spent time in Paris, where he had "many friends", he also traveled to Europe, took advantage of his family and loved ones.

We had discussed other positions.
»Particularly within the recruitment unit.

Even when I was a player, I loved watching other people.
I like to see when a player is good.
It pleases me to see which player can evolve in such a place ... I am more made to be in the recruiting cell than to be an educator.
"
He also has family plans.
