About three months ago, Mariona Garcia, the 21-year-old daughter of the former Maccabi Tel Aviv coach, Oscar, passed away.
Yesterday (Monday), the Spaniard was interviewed for the first time and talked about what happened to him and his family in the past months.
"We are trying to accept the situation, there is no other remedy. It was a hard blow, because things happened in an unnatural way, but you have to look forward. You can't control what is happening," he shared.
Mariona was ill for about eight years, and now the Spanish coach is trying to move on, together with his wife and two other daughters - 19-year-old Jana and 13-year-old Emma.
"We must be strong. We, the adults, have a little more resources for this, but the girls can't always understand," he said, adding a chilling sentence about the disease: "I wonder why I didn't get sick, why it didn't happen to me or her. She had Your whole life ahead of you."
Garcia said his eldest daughter continues to inspire him even today.
"I try to remember her well, how strong she was, how much she didn't let the disease defeat her. She was like a mother to her two sisters."
