Rest in peace younger brother- Samuel Eto’o

Samuel Eto’o Fils, emblematic figure of Cameroonian football, is among those who responded promptly soon after the confirmation of death of Patrick Ekeng.

“I’m in turmoil because the sad images of this tragedy that occurred tonight remind me of another, that of June 26, 2003, at Gerland (he refers to the death in almost the same conditions of Cameroonian international Marc Vivien Foe at a match of the Confederation Cup in France) As a broken record in sadness and tragedy, Ekeng Patrick has left us, struck by dead practicing the craft he learned and that united us all, football.

I am completely devastated. It is totally incomprehensible to leave so young, with some talent whose first rays already illuminated the green, red and yellow jersey (flag colors of Cameroon) Football was still in need of you, but life decided otherwise … Rest in peace younger brother … “wrote the former captain of the Indomitable Lions.

Alongside the tributes to the deceased by celebrities, there are also the testimonies of former childhood companions of the footballer. “RIP Comrade. I was lucky to have known you in the Bilingual High School Essos (Yaounde) and to have played at your side. It could only be in awe in seeing you play since you were steeped in talent. Too sad, rest in peace “reacted Kouandi Armel, a former classmate of the now late Patrick Ekeng.
