The Carinthian does not expect any rethinking in the industry: “After two days everyone has forgotten such topics.”
In the opinion of the Austrian soccer team player Martin Hinteregger, making his depression public will not have a major impact on the situation of colleagues. “Oh, that doesn't get any better. After two days everyone has forgotten such issues,” said the Eintracht Frankfurt defender of Sport Bild .
In his recently published book “Inner View”, the 28-year-old reports on a depression after switching from FC Augsburg to Eintracht. “Nobody knew that I had depression. The discussions with the psychologist were very important, otherwise it would have turned out badly,” said the Carinthian.
Even if he does not expect any change in the industry, Hinteregger sees a point in making his illness public. He wanted to “help a few younger players and above all people outside of football. I think there are many in this group. They are also finished and now, hopefully, think to themselves: Ah, even the professional footballer is looking for help,” said Hinteregger .
