“It’s hard for me to find the words and to comprehend everything that has happened. I feel immense pain over the loss of Jesús. My thoughts are with him, his family, and everyone who loved him,” he noted, adding that he knows there are issues that will need to be addressed, but at this moment he is unable to think of anything beyond the tragedy. He concluded his message with the phrase “Rest in peace, Jesús.”
Ovono did not participate in Andorra’s optional training session on Wednesday; according to Spanish media reports, he is receiving psychological support and has the backing of the team and his teammates. Meanwhile, Andorra’s match against Mallorca, which was scheduled for Sunday, was postponed following a request from the club.
A message from Jesús Ovono:
“These are the hardest days of my life. It’s very difficult for me to find the words and come to terms with what has happened. I feel immense pain over the loss of Jesús. My thoughts are with him, his family, and all the people who loved him.
I know there are many issues that will need to be addressed, and I will handle whatever arises with the utmost respect. Right now, however, honestly, I can’t think of anything else besides Jesús and the pain we’re all experiencing.
Rest in peace, Jesús.”
