Hatayspor and Cameroonian international midfielder Kevin Soni have stated he spoke to teammate Christian Atsu before the earthquake hit Hatay. According to him, he called Atsu to shower him with praise after the winger's outstanding performance on Sunday.
Speaking to Foot Mercato in an exclusive interview a traumatized Kevin Soni said the team is now in Istanbul and hopes Atsu is found.
Several members of the club have not had your luck and are still missing, like Christian Atsu.? I get goosebumps talking to you. Before that happened, I was talking with Christian Atsu on the phone. He had scored a free kick on Sunday and I told him that he had played well and that I had liked his match. I told him that I hoped to find the grounds quickly so that we could play together. But I didn't know that was the last time I spoke with him. Two hours later, I had no more news. I was told that my friend might be dead, it's enough to drive you crazy. I am certainly the last person to have spoken with him on the phone. I'm not proud to say that, I really hope we find him safe and sound. It is my wish. I pray for this everyday.
some media have however said that he had been found. Have you had any news? Those are lies. Tuesday evening, we flew back to Istanbul and he was not with us. If he had been found, why wasn't he on the plane? These are lies. They may have said that to maintain hope and not to frighten his family. What I can tell you is that he did not fly with us to Istanbul. I hope we will find him.
