Spanish players and fans from all over are mourning the death of Espanyol captain, Dani Jarque who passed away on Sunday due to heart failure. La Furia Roja’s players gathered at a hotel in Madrid yesterday before their away friendly to Macedonia and many were noticeably reeling from the shock.
“It’s a big pain. First, we suffered the loss of Antonio Puerta and now Jarque,” said Iker Casillas. “It is a pity that this happened to a very young boy who had a wonderful future, leaving his wife in a difficult situation.” Jarque’s wife, Jessica, is carrying his son and is due to give birth in September.
“I remember Jarque at the presentation of Espanyol’s new stadium. He told me that he had become a father and he was very happy,” said Albert Riera. “It’s only in these moments that you (realise) how precious life is.”
“We must stay together and hope that nothing similar happens again,” added Raul Albiol.
