PL: “U szczytu kariery, w sezonie marzeń, kiedy wydawało mi się, że mam już wszystko, o czym może marzyć młody sportowiec ? w wyniku wypadku na boisku straciłem oko.
Stanąłem przed najtrudniejszą jak dotąd decyzją w swoim życiu: co dalej z Karolem Bieleckim? Czy posłuchać pierwszej diagnozy: to koniec kariery, nie będziesz już nigdy grał? ? czy też może skupić się na kolejnej: w zasadzie możesz próbować, tylko od Ciebie zależy, co z tym zrobisz.
Przekonałem się, że los nigdy niczego mi nie dał ani niczego nie zabrał. Los tylko złożył mi pewną propozycję, której ja nie przyjąłem”
EN: "At the peak of my career, in the dream season, when it seemed to me that I already have everything a young athlete can dream about? as a result of an accident on the field, I lost my eye.
I faced the most difficult decision in my life so far: what's next with Karol Bielecki? Listen to the first diagnosis: it's the end of your career, you'll never play again? ? or maybe focus on the next one: basically you can try, it's up to you what you do with it.
I have found that fate never gave me anything or took anything. Fate just made me an offer that I did not accept.
