Former Black Stars striker Emmanuel Clottey says he still cannot believe Ghanaian player Christian Atsu is dead and that he won’t believe Atsu is gone until he sees the dead body of the former winger in person.
When Atsu’s manager Nana Sechere revealed that the athlete had passed suddenly on Saturday, February 18, after being trapped in earthquake debris since two earthquakes struck Turkey on February 6, he said this in an exclusive interview with CITI Sports.
I still won’t believe it till I see his body, so Until I see the body of Atsu, I’m not sure what to say since, from the very beginning, I haven’t wanted to believe it, Clottey remarked.
At the 2013 AFCON, Clottey wore jersey number 17, and Atsu wore shirt number 7.
