La Liga gave birth to the first player without hands. What do you know about him?

The second Austrian division, which was originally humble, became the focus because of a disabled person. On the evening of March 5th, after Schickel came off the bench in Salzburg, Austria in the 2 1 Olympic Round, Andreas, a player from Vienna New Town, opened a new chapter in the history of professional football. Due to the cold weather, the 29-year-old left-back looks no different from other players in long-sleeved jerseys and gloves. But in fact, he lost the first section of his left forearm, right thumb and index finger at 20141and had to have artificial limbs. Skicker became the first football player in history to participate in professional competition with prosthetic limbs! Skicker (right), a player from Vienna New Town, came off the bench and became the first player in the history of professional football to participate in a formal competition with a prosthetic.

The tragic accident occurred in 20041October 23rd, 201kloc-0/65438. Skicker was recuperating on the banks of the Muir River in his hometown when he was injured by powerful firecrackers at 3: 25 am. When the police arrived, he found himself lying in a pool of blood, his left forearm completely exploded and his right finger was affected. Emergency personnel immediately sent the Austrian to the hospital for rescue. After three doctors 10 hours of marathon operation, Skicker saved his life, but lost his left forearm-the doctor decided to amputate his leg. Since then, he has undergone a series of minor operations, mainly to restore his injured right hand. Skicker recalled the accident and thought he deserved it. "A professional football player was killed by firecrackers at 3 am." He wanted to buy fireworks and rockets to celebrate the New Year, but the vendor recommended firecrackers to him. "This is not illegal. Firecrackers come from German manufacturers and fourth-class manufacturers. Only second-class fireworks are allowed in Austria. Unfortunately, many accidents have come together.

Skicker was a player of Horn, the second Olympic club, when the accident happened. He just joined that summer, and the cruciate ligament of his knee was torn immediately, and then an accident happened, which was a disaster. So he didn't take part in the official competition, and the former Austrian young international ended his one-year contract with Horn. At this time, the old club Vienna New Town opened its arms, and Skicker became the leader and teaching assistant of the second team. It seems that I have made the worst plan not to continue my career. But in fact, he never intended to give up. Skicker has made unprecedented efforts to continue his career. "I learned patience." Now, whether it is preparation before training, taking a bath, changing clothes, tying shoelaces, or eating, it takes him longer than before. But with the help of myoelectric prosthesis, he can basically take care of himself, such as cooking and driving himself-automatic transmission, of course.

"As long as I have patience, I can do almost anything. And I often ask myself, how can I recover now? " Of course, some difficulties are inevitable. For example, when paying for things, EMG prostheses sometimes choose the wrong action and spill wallets and coins on the ground. Although football is basically kicked with the feet and the top of the head, it also needs the arms to fight and keep the body balanced. The myoelectric prosthesis used in daily life cannot be worn during exercise. On the contrary, it is a special kind of sports prosthesis. It weighs only about one kilogram and can't do anything. More importantly, the surface material is softer than ordinary people, which minimizes the harm to others during exercise. Nevertheless, many people are still worried, so Skicker had to ask FIFA to review his practice of wearing artificial limbs. Because there was no precedent, it took him a month to finally get the approval of FIFA, eliminating the biggest obstacle to the official competition.
