“He came out of his shell when we were doing worship, that was like his place, he just felt right at home.

He extolled Atsu's footballing prowess by saying he had everything that made him a good footballer.

“He was known as the Ghanaian Messi because he was a left-footed player on the right wing who was dribbling, taking people on, positive, brave, everything that I could wish for he had it in abundance, and I was thinking I had no chance of playing in that position”

He said news of his death has been hard for him and wanted to send his condolence to his family and also to everyone who lost a loved one in the earthquake
