Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris French-Spanish Parents Were His Greatest Inspiration

Hugo’s mother, Marie, passed in April 2008 after battling a chronic disease, breast cancer, for several years. 

According to Closer Mag, the footballer and family thought she would once again succeed over the disease as she showed. Marie had given off such strength that everyone was convinced she was getting better. 

Looking at the pictures, she looked old and much thinner due to cancer. However, she always carried that smiley face around her loved ones. 

But unfortunately, she lost the fight against it. She used to appear in Lloris’ matches and always cheered with all her energy, forgetting she was infected by anything.  

The year the footballer’s mom perished, he was playing for the Nice. Then, Hugo was offered a few days off for the loss, but he refused to take it and did not stop playing. Thus, he gained national respect for still competing in the league match. 

Later, when asked why Lloris made such a decision, he replied that this is what his mother would want him to do in such a situation. Although the goalkeeper did not speak out loud, he must have dedicated many matches to his late mother after her passing.
