Mitch Austin, napadalec nogometne ekipe Melbourne Victory, je pred uvodno tekmo nove sezone gostoval v pogovorni oddaji ABC Newsbreakfast. Izkušnja je bila zanj sila neprijetna, saj je že uvodoma, kot so kasneje pojasnili v njegovi ekipi, doživel napad panike.
Nogometaš, ki naj bi bil sicer vajen medijskih obveznosti, je brez pojasnila zapustil prizorišče in šokiral voditeljico programa Georgie Tunny. "Na žalost smo izgubili Mitcha," je dejala.
Predstavnik ekipe Melbourne Victory je za news.com potrdil, da se je Austin slabo počutil, vendar je z njim vse v najlepšem redu.
"Mislim, da se mu je za trenutek stemnilo, potem pa je doživel napad panike. Izven studia sva se povsem normalno pogovorila in pripravljen je za prvo tekmo sezone proti Sydneyju," je dogodke komentirala voditeljica.
Nogometašu so na družbenih omrežjih podporo izrekli številni uporabniki.
The walking out of @mitchaustin10 @gomvfc due to a panic attack should not be labelled "bizarre" @DailyMailAU!! End the stigma, please!
