Tavares attempted to chase down a long ball he had played ahead of himself, but the situation quickly escalated. Unable to control his momentum, he slipped and collided heavily with the perimeter structure near the pitch.
"What a good day, and what a stupid accident...again. Five years after [my previous nose break], my nose is f---ed up even worse [laughs]. As you see, it's even more cracked the same direction, and when I touch [my nose], my bones are broken inside."
Just to clarify things. I'm limping because I had a small intervention in the knee two weeks ago. Went in and took out what was not supposed to be there. Knee is great now. Thanks for all the support.
