These are the hardest days of my life. I struggle to find the words and it is very difficult for me to process everything that has happened. I feel immense pain over the loss of Jesus. My thoughts go out to him, his family and all the people who loved him.
These are the first words - entrusted to a note from the club - of the Andorra goalkeeper, Jesus Owono, after the clash that caused the death of Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel. "I know there will be many issues to address and I will address them with the utmost respect. But at this moment, honestly, I can't think of anything other than Jesús and the pain we are experiencing. Rest in peace, Jesús", concludes the Equatorial Guinea goalkeeper., while Andorra, who say they are "deeply shaken by the passing of Jesús de Miguel", ask everyone for "maximum sensitivity and respect".
Threats and racist insults for Miguel's death, Owono closes social media
After de Miguel's tragic death, Owono had to close his Instagram account because it was overwhelmed by racist threats and insults. The Spanish police opened an investigation into possible manslaughter. The player, who until yesterday morning had over 30,000 followers on Instagram, subsequently deactivated his account. "Those who know him know what kind of person he is, how much he is suffering at the moment and that he would never have wanted to hurt anyone", wrote on Instagram Lautaro Spatz, Owono's teammate who wanted to dedicate a few words in support of a "goalkeeper and friend, who is deeply shocked by what happened". "It is a tragedy that we would never have imagined experiencing on a football pitch - he wrote again - Accidental accidents happen in football, but no one can imagine that one of these could have such tragic consequences. Today football no longer matters. All we can do is share this pain, demonstrate the utmost respect and convey all our closeness to the family and to those who are facing this terrible loss". Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho expressed his condolences for the incident, speaking of a "really very difficult moment" for Owono. "I think it's a shocking event for everyone, let alone for the world of football, for people like us who take to the field every day to compete - said the Portuguese - It's a tough, sad situation. Obviously, our thoughts and our closeness go to the family and friends of the missing player; I also believe that this must be an extremely difficult moment also for the other footballer (Owono, ed.) involved in the affair".
