Desiree Ellis, the head coach of South Africa’s women’s national team, has responded to the passing of Ghanaian winger Christian Atsu.
She said that it is obvious that Ghana has lost a soldier who was loved by many people in her eulogy for the dead Black Stars forward.
“Our hearts go out to the families as well as to Ghana and Atsu’s family.” That’s the worst thing that you want to hear after so much time, but we pray for the families and pray that God gives them strength.
“And to Ghana, you have lost a soldier but know that he was loved by many,” the South Africa women’s national team coach said.
Christian Atsu passed away at the age of 31 after he was caught up in the wreckage of the Turkey earthquake.
Since he was confirmed dead on Saturday, people from around the world have extended their condolences to Ghana and the late player’s family.
