After years of hard work, Enke is recognized as one of the best goalkeepers in Germany, he also went to play for Barcelona, but it was during this time at Barca that he finally suffered from depression, he bravely fought against the disease for many years, he performed well in Hanover 96, but his daughter died of congenital heart defects, which plunged Enk's world into darkness, he worked hard to overcome difficulties, helpEd Hanover achieve good results continuously, and became one of the best goalkeepers in the Bundesliga.

However, Enke could never forget his daughter who died prematurely, and after a strong ideological struggle, he still chose to end his life. Enke's death, one of the greatest tragedies in the history of German football, also made people aware of the impact of depression on athletes. (Back-up sports / Chen Chuan)
