Following the stroke that affected the Czech coach and his intensive care hospitalization last February, Karel Zeman breaks his silence with a pointed social media comment directed at those who were absent during his father`s difficult time.
“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” This quote by Martin Luther King accompanied a photo that Karel Zeman, son of Zdenek, posted on Instagram, striking a cryptic and critical tone. The picture shows father and son together, smiling and embraced, following the difficult period of the past few months. The Czech coach had been hospitalized again in February due to a stroke. His time in intensive care was followed by rehabilitation and a gradual recovery to normalcy after the significant health scare. These were moments that the Zeman family evidently faced alone, or at least without the support of those who were considered friends of the former coach of teams like Roma, Foggia, Pescara, Lazio, and Napoli. This is the sentiment that emerges from Karel`s post, where he combined his relief at overcoming the toughest times with a veiled but pointed remark.
