This summer, the football world lost Diogo Jota. At the peak of his career with trophies with Liverpool and Portugal, the striker tragically disappeared in a car accident with his brother in Spain. Terrible news that has sent the world of football into turmoil. At his former club Liverpool, the tributes were numerous and the spirit of the Portuguese striker is still present at Anfield. Still in the heads of everyone who knew him, Diogo Jota is still in the head of Jürgen Klopp.
In any case, this is what the German technician said in comments relayed by the Portuguese media In Bola : “I can’t imagine the locker room without him. It's the same for the players. Nobody at Liverpool will ever use that as an excuse… He was so close to James Milner, very close to Kostas Tsimikas. Dealing with this on a personal level…impossible. I received a text this morning with some bad news from a friend in Liverpool, and I couldn't believe it. It was incredible. I heard it, I understood what it meant. I saw all the photos from the wedding, and the boys were there… I know exactly where I was and how long, I sat there without saying a word. It is precisely like a member of the family. This is an example of what we have to face without knowing anything. You can’t be prepared…I was impressed by his presence, he was a very special young man.”
