AGI – The former defender of Inter and the national soccer team, Mauro Bellugi, 70, had to suffer the amputation of both legs due to complications from Covid. He revealed it himself in an interview with Luca Serafini for the site altropensiero.net
“They even cut off the leg I scored against Borussia Monchengladbach,” Bellugi joked, referring to his goal for Inter in the November 1971 European Cup. Bellugi was hospitalized on November 4 after contracting the coronavirus. Doctors were forced to perform the double amputation after pre-existing diseases had worsened.
“I will have prostheses like Pistorius’s, so I can overtake you in the corridors of the television studios”, laughed Bellugi with his interlocutor. The former defender, who also played for Naples and Bologna, won the Serie A championship with Inter in 1971 and was sent to the national team at the 1974 and 1978 World Cups.
