MADRID.- The goalkeeper of Andorra, Jesús Owono“is very touched by the situation” after the death of the forward of the Tenerife, Jesus de Miguel, in a clash between the two, his coach said this Thursday, Carles Manso.
Owono came out to clear a ball during a game of the Second Division on November 2, hitting De Miguel, who after the blow was evacuated to a hospital where he died the next day.
“He is very affected by the situation and evidently he did not intend the outcome that occurred after the crash and that in the end is a tragedy that he has to unfortunately live with,” explained the Andorra coach.
In a press conference after Andorra’s return to training, Manso explained that the goalkeeper has taken refuge with his family, friends and partner.
“We are trying to respect that privacy and that process that he is experiencing right now in a situation as complicated as this,” added Manso, who reiterated his condolences to De Miguel’s relatives.
Within that situation, the club has given him “that space so that he feels totally free to make any decision, wanting to return, not wanting to return, when he considers it appropriate and when he really feels prepared to make such a decision,” Manso explained.
Owono himself stated in a public letter last week that he was going through “the most difficult days” of his life.
“It is difficult for me to find the words and it is very difficult for me to assimilate anything that has happened,” he added before showing himself willing to face the consequences of what happened.
