The football community continues to express condolences to Diogo Jota’s family and his brother Andre Silva, who died in a car accident.
Game stakeholders from current soccer players to former soccer players also shared information with the families of the two players. The latest figure to send sympathy is Liverpool FC head coach Arne Slot, who was a Diogo Jota fan in his first season at Anfield.
Jota was a big part of Liverpool’s success last season, winning the Premier League in Slot’s first season.
What does Arne Slot comment on Diogo Jota’s death?
“How to say? What would anyone say when shock and pain are so primitive? I wish I had something to say, but I knew I didn’t. What I know, I know so many people would share a thing about a person and the people we love deeply, the players we love, the people we care so much, my first thought was not a football manager, they were a football and an experienced brother, they were a brother, their family. My message about them was obvious.
He continues
For us as a club, the shock is absolutely. Diogo is not only our players. He is a relative of all of us. He is a teammate, a colleague, a colleague, and in all these roles, he is special. I can say he brought too much to our team, but the truth is that everyone watching Diogo Play can see it. Hard work, desire, commitment, high quality, goal. The essence of what a Liverpool player should be. There are also parts that not everyone sees. People who have never sought popularity but have found it anyway. Not a friend of two people, but a friend of everyone. A person who makes others only with him feel good about himself. A person who cares a lot about his family.
He concluded that
“The last time we spoke, I congratulated Diogo on winning the National League and hoped he was lucky for his upcoming wedding. In many ways, it was a dream summer for Diogo and his family, and it made it even more heartbreaking that it should end like this, and it should end like this. Over the years, the supporters of so many great players have unique shouts for Diogo, and we have lost those qualities in such a horrible situation. Their three beautiful kids and the parents of Andre Silva, we will celebrate his goal, we will sing, and we will remember his songs.
