Kieron Dyer, altro personaggio discutibile fuori (qualcuno direbbe anche dentro vista la rissa con Bowyer :D) ha si avuto un grave infortunio, con la rottura di una gamba nell'agosto del 2007, alla seconda partita giocata con la maglia del West Ham.Vic Vega wrote: A proposito di giocatori da cui ci si aspettava cose migliori, nella lista ci metto proprio Kieron Dyer; però ricordo di un infortunio piuttosto grave subito alcuni anni fa, qualcuno saprebbe essere più preciso?
Ma in realtà, oltre ad una condotta di vita non sempre da professionista, con risse, accuse di stupro, sexy tape finiti in rete, il vero problema di Kieron Dyer sono i suoi muscoli fatti di cristallo.
Per un giocatore come lui, che nell'esplosività/velocità aveva il suo punto di forza, è stata una vera mazzata.
Il tutto sembra sia dovuto ad un problema di postura, come riportato da queste dichiarazioni dello stesso Dyer, che risalgono al 2006:
Müller-Wohlfahrt, oltre ad essere padre di Maren, gran bella figliola e vecchia fiamma di Lothar Matthaus :D, è lo stesso specialista a cui si rivolse Michael Owen per risolvere i problemi ai flessori, che sono stati la vera causa di una certa discontinuità riscontrata nella prima parte della carriera di Owen.His hamstring problems had their roots in his slight build as a child. As he bulked up his body, his core strength failed to keep up. He called upon the finest doctors in Europe, including Dr Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt, the German specialist, and those at the Olympic Medical Institute in London. Finally John Green, a physiotherapist, identified the cause.
"He said my body was a wreck because my posture was all wrong, which meant my breathing was wrong too," said Dyer. "He said I had to learn to use my lower abdominal muscles, which would help correct my posture and support my hamstrings. I basically had to learn to breathe again. I had to do the exercises for hours every day. I was a slouch. Now I'll probably sit straight for the rest of my life."
