Doctor on van Persie's injury: I thought they brought the Sunday league player

Last Sunday in the Turkish league, striker Robin van Persie, who suffered a serious eye injury, realized that even in a country obsessed with football, there are people who have no interest in this sport. The 33-year-old world-renowned football player was immediately taken from the stadium to the hospital, where he was accompanied by a huge crowd of Istanbul's "Fenerbahce" fans. However, the doctor who treated the veteran later admitted that he did not realize that he was providing assistance to the idol of millions of Turks. "I have no interest in football at all and I do not follow current events. I thought they brought an ordinary league player from Sunday," said Mehmet Ozen. He continued: "When I saw the huge crowd of people gathered outside, I realized that some celebrity had arrived. Of course, I treated him like any other patient. Van Persie did not make any special demands, was very polite, and followed all my instructions." It is worth noting that in the past, the striker has played for clubs such as London's "Arsenal" and "Manchester United."
