A footballer dies – level 1
10-11-2026 07:00
A sad event happens in Spanish football. A 30-year-old player named Jesús de Miguel dies after a big game accident. He hits another player hard during a match. He hits his head and chest.
Doctors take De Miguel to the hospital quickly. At first, he is not well, but he is stable. But everything changes in the night. On Tuesday morning, his football team says that De Miguel dies.
Many players and fans are very sad. Officials stop some matches to remember him and help his sad family.
Difficult words: chest (a person’s body between the neck and the stomach), hospital (a building where doctors and nurses look after sick people), stable (when something does not change).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
