Liverpool experienced a tragedy during the offseason, with the disappearance of his Portuguese striker Diogo Jota, carried away like his brother in a appalling road accident on July 3 while he rallied England to resume training with the Reds.
This Sunday, Liverpool officially returned to the competition, one week before the resumption of the Premier League, via the traditional Community Shield putting the outgoing champion and the holder of the FA Cup, namely Crystal Palace. A first match without the famous number 20. And yet …
While the Chrono on the Wembley bills indicated 20 minutes already played, fans of the Mersey club by their applause paid tribute to their Lusitanian goals off. And while the tribute resonated in the stands of the legendary London stadium, the improbable occurred on the meadow.
A strange trajectory …
In full acclamation, Jeremie Frimpong, one of the club's summer recruits, split an overflow on the right flank before sending a curved center in the trajectory – literally illegible – was able to deceive the vigilance of the Eagles porter, Dean Henderson.
In view of the effect given to the ball and its incredible curve to the opposing nets, some will see in this victorious action the celestial intervention of a Diogo Jota touched by the tribute which was then paid to him. A beautiful story to tell to forget the horror and pain of his absence.
