It’s not all smiles at Everton. Although the good start to the season in the Premier League, the good performance of James Rodríguez and the other signings made by Carlo Ancelotti, give to be happy, within the Liverpool club there is a footballer who lives a family drama, but who he continues to play and train despite the intense pain he suffers.

This is the Icelandic Gylfi Sigurdsson, the one who wears the ’10’ shirt of the ‘toffee’ and is one of James’ direct competitors for winning a port in the starting eleven each day. But right now, football and the fight to be among the best is on the side.

Sigurdsson and his wife are mired in tragedy: Maximilian Helgi Ivarsson, only 11 years old, was the half brother of Alexandra, the player’s partner, so he was Gylfi’s brother-in-law. On September 8, the boy took out a shotgun that was stored in a closet in his house and accidentally shot himself … of course, he died tragically.

The Icelandic footballer has been strong and has not wanted to talk about the death of his little brother-in-law and the pain of his wife. However, he has been training and played five days after the tragedy, 22 minutes against Tottenham on the first date of the Premier League. He also played in the Carabao Cup and scored a goal, but did not celebrate.
