Atsu niet enige dode van Hatayspor: voetbalwereld rouwt

Vanochtend kwam het vreselijke nieuws naar buiten dat voetballer Christian Atsu op 31-jarige leeftijd is overleden. De oud-speler van Vitesse, die actief was bij Hatayspor, is levenloos onder het puin vandaan gehaald na de allesverwoestende aardbevingen in Turkije en Syrië.

Hatayspor, dat actief is op het hoogste niveau van Turkije, verloor naast Atsu ook materiaalman Onur Akdeniz. Op de sociale mediakanalen, die ‘op zwart’ zijn gegaan, meldt Hatayspor dat het lichaam van Atsu naar Ghana gebracht zal worden voor een begrafenis. De voetbalwereld rouwt.

The funeral of our football player Christian Atsu, who lost his life under the rubble ( debris), is on his way to be sent to his hometown, Ghana. We will not forget you, Atsu. Peace be upon you, beautiful person. There are no words to describe our sadness.
REST in PEACE ATSU
