He carries tickets for the whole family with him: the Mexican buried his wife and children and still flew to the World Cup

This story shocks with its tragedy and self-control of the main character. Mexican Gilberto Martinez flew to Russia for the World Cup without his beloved wife Veronica, 8-year-old son Diego and 6-year-old daughter Mia. All of them died two months ago — crashed in a terrible car accident.

Broken by grief, Hilberto did not even remember about plane tickets and trips to the World Cup matches, he mourned his loved ones and was not even going to any Russia. Until he got a call from Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa. How he found out about the tragedy is unknown, but on the phone he actually begged the widower, who had lost his children, to go to the championship — in the name of the whole family, in the name of "the angels they will become."

And Hillermo, gathering all his strength into a fist, went. He took with him the T-shirts that his kids and the love of his life Veronica were supposed to wear. And for the first match of the national team of Mexico with the national team of South Korea, he put on not only his pass, but also everyone else. On that day, the Mexican was invited to take the field — many of the Mexican fans and absolutely all the players were aware of his tragedy.

According to Guillermo, his son was rooting for Barcelona, namely Messi and Neymar. Little Diego dreamed of meeting his idols, but did not have time. After learning about this story, Neymar recorded an appeal for Guillermo Martinez. In it, he tried as best he could to support the father of the deceased Diego.

Hillermo admits that his daughter Mia dreamed of becoming a ballerina, and his wife Veronica was very interested in Russia — culture and art, studied museums. With tears in his eyes, the man says that his girls would really like it here.

Note that Guillermo Martinez intends to return home after the match between Brazil and Mexico. At the time of preparation of this material, the score of the match was already known — 2:0. The Mexican team, like their most loyal fan, Guillermo Martinez, is going home. And this story, without any doubt, resonates in our hearts with the most touching and saddest memory that will remain after the 2018 World Cup.
