Since Christian Atsu's passing was reported in February, comments about his selflessness have poured in.

Today, the deceased Hatayspor player's family, friends, football players, and prominent figures, including President Akufo-Addo, gathered to pay their respects.

Veteran commentator Kwabena Yeboah was one of them. He walked past the body this morning as the funeral for the former Black Stars player was taking place on the grounds of the State House in Accra.

Mr. Yeboah praised Christian's humility in his interview , noting that he was at the height of his success.

For him, the late footballer’s humility is worth emulating.

“He never allowed his fame and well to get into his head. Often times when footballers get very famous, they tend to be a bit haughty and they tend to be a bit super zealous. He never ever got to that point. He never forgot his roots,” he added.

Atsu, 31, was found dead on February 18, 2023, following the devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria on February 6, which killed more than 50,000 people in both countries.

His last club was Hatayspor club.
