“He will not be alone”: Andorra unites around Owono, devastated by the death of Jesús de Miguel

Since the death this Tuesday of Jesús de Miguel, Tenerife striker, victim of a collision with him the day before in the Spanish second division, the FC Andorra goalkeeper has been in shock. “These are the most difficult days of my life,” he confided this Wednesday in a press release. According to Marca, he remains surrounded by his mother, his relatives and former teammates who came to give him their support. At 25 years old, the Equatorial Guinean goalkeeper is still struggling to realize the extent of the tragedy.

“He would never hurt anyone.”

“He won’t be alone.” At the porter's club, the slogan is unanimous, reports Marca. Players, managers and staff mobilize around Owono, while the images of the accident still haunt the group. “He would never hurt anyone,” insists one of the captains to the Spanish daily.

This Wednesday, almost the entire squad participated in optional training, without Owono, at the Joan Samarra municipal stadium. A minute of silence was observed in tribute to Jesus de Miguel. The objective, according to the club cited by Marca, was to “find each other, create links and not stay stuck at home all day”. Sunday's match against Mallorca has been postponed.

Piqué mobilizes

The majority shareholder of the Andorra club is personally involved. According to Marca, the former Barça defender is due to travel this Thursday to Navahermosa, the hometown of Jesús de Miguel's parents, accompanied by president Ferran Vilaseca and manager Jaume Nogués. The Spanish footballers' union (AFE) is also committed to supporting the players of both teams, deeply affected by the tragedy.
