Spanish coach José Antonio Camacho and several teammates remembered Miklos Fehér this Thursday in a video in which Benfica pays tribute to the former footballer on the 20th anniversary of his death.
“Miki, 20 years of nostalgia. A tribute to the coach and teammates since 2004,” the Lisbon club wrote on its social media page X in a video of testimonials praising Fejer’s personality and friendship.
José Antonio Camacho greets the Reds fans, remembering his friend and teammate Fejer, as well as Brazilian midfielder Roger, emphasizing that this moment, the death of the player, was the saddest in their careers.
“20 years later, the saddest moment of our career is losing a teammate like Miki,” says the Brazilian midfielder.
Fernando Aguiar also remembered the “great man”, Carlitos highlighted the Hungarian’s “simplicity and humility” and Portuguese midfielder Tiago called him special, prompting Sweden’s Andersson to say the striker is easy to like.
In their testimonies, former teammates and Portugal internationals Moreira, Helder Cristovan and Nuno Gomes also recall the Hungarian footballer’s professionalism, but above all the values of friendship.
The statement was addressed to former defenders Miguel, Fyssas and Armando Sa, as well as center back Ricardo Rocha, all of whom expressed nostalgia for their former teammate.
“I hope he has a good time there and that one day we get together to talk a little about everything,” former striker Tomo Sokota said in the video, which ends with his former teammate and current Benfica coach Simão Sabrosa The Hungarian says that his last smile is eternal and remains in the heart.
The former Hungarian striker died 20 years ago, on January 25, 2004, in a Benfica match at the Vitoria de Guimarães stadium.
Fejer, who was 24 years old, received a yellow card and smiled before collapsing helplessly 90+1 minutes into the game due to cardiopulmonary arrest and, despite resuscitation attempts on the pitch at the Casa Afonso Henriques Stadium, the player was declared dead in the hospital.
FC Porto, the Hungarian’s first club in Portugal, also noted the striker’s death: “20 years without Mika Feher. Football is not forgotten.”
