Ale: “Losing the title hurt me more than when I found out about cancer”

Sebastian Alle’s life took a turn when he found out that after moving from Ajax Amsterdam to Dortmund he had a malignant tumor in his genital area and had to undergo chemotherapy for treatment.

In the end, the Senegalese international striker emerged victorious from this gigantic battle, putting the health problems that plagued him behind him. In an interview with Bild, he compared the pain of the illness to the pain he suffered a few months ago as Dortmund failed to win the Bundesliga title.

A title that she held in her own hands and that had the unique chance to push Bayern off the top after ten years, but let it slip away with a 2-2 draw at home against Mainz on the last matchday.

“It’s true that losing the Bundesliga title hurt me more than what I felt after the cancer diagnosis. When you’re sick, there’s nothing you can do.”

You have to accept it and go with it, but we had the title in our hands, it was in our hands. emphasized the 29-year-old striker and added:

“In such a case, no matter how painful it may be, you have to accept that you have made mistakes and made wrong decisions.” Missed opportunities eat you up.

You think about what you could have done better, but I also learned, especially during the illness, not to let the negative things get to me.”
