German national soccer team player Jonathan Tah was deeply moved by the letter published by Leipzig’s young star Yan Diomande to his sister, who died at the age of 15. “That was very moving,” said 30-year-old Tah after reading the words of the 19-year-old winger from the Ivory Coast in the magazine “The Players’ Tribune.”
Diomande wrote about the painful loss in a letter because he couldn’t bring himself to speak about the tragedy. “People often say we’re just soccer players,” said Tah at the press conference ahead of tonight’s match (10:00 p.m./ZDF and MagentaTV) in Toronto between the DFB team and the African squad, in which Diomande is one of the key players.
