Liverpool coach Ane Slotte: "Diogo Jota is not just our player, he is the love of all of us."

After Diogo Jota's unfortunate death, Liverpool coach Arne Slott issued a statement.

The death of Jota, 28, and his 25-year-old brother Andre Silva was confirmed Thursday morning.

Premier League champion Liverpool made a brief statement, and Slot also expressed deep respect to the Portuguese international.

He said: "What should I say? What else can I say in a time of such shock and pain so strong? I wish I could say these words, but I know I didn't."

"I know that all my feelings will be the same as everyone, for this person we love deeply, for this player, and for this family we care deeply about.

The first thing I think of is not a football coach, but a father, a son, a brother, an uncle, and the family Diogo and Andre Silva, They have experienced unimaginable losses.

The message I want to tell them is very clear-you will never be alone. The players, staff and fans of Liverpool Football Club are with you, and as far as I see today, the entire football family is with you.

This is not only a response to the tragedy, but also a response to the kindness of the people involved, and many respect for the boys and the entire family.

"For our club, the shock is beyond words. Diogo is not just our player, he is the one we all love. He is our teammate, colleague, coworker, and in all these roles, he is very special. ”

I can say a lot about his contribution to the team, but in fact, everyone who has watched Diogo’s game can see it. Hard work, desire, dedication, excellent quality, goals. This is exactly the traits that Liverpool players should have.

"He also has an unknown side. He never pursued fame, but eventually won popularity. He is not just a friend of two people, but a friend of everyone. He can make them feel good if he is with others. He loves his family deeply.

The last time we spoke, I congratulated Diogo on winning the National League and wished his upcoming wedding all the best. In many ways, it was a fantastic summer for Diogo and his family, and it ended in this way, which was even more heartbreaking.

When I first arrived at the club, the first song I heard was the song our fans sang for Diogo. I haven't worked with him before, but I immediately realized that Liverpool fans have witnessed countless great players over the years and that if he could cheer for Diogo in such a unique way, he must have extraordinary qualities.

In such a bad environment, we have lost these qualities, which is a fact that we have not yet accepted. Therefore, we need everyone in the club to unite and watch out for each other. This is our responsibility to Diorgo, to Andre Silva, to their large family, and to ourselves.

"I express my condolences to Diogo's wife Rut, their three beautiful children, and the parents of Diogo and Andre Silva. When the time is right, we celebrate Diogo Jota, we remember his goals, we sing for him. At present, we will remember him as a unique man and deeply mourn his departure. He will never be forgotten.

"His name is Diogo. ”
