Liverpool, Beriston Badogo Gota and Andre Silva praises before the echo

Liverpool and Briston praised Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva at an emotional party before the pre -season friendly on Sunday.

Jota and Andre, a professional football player, died in a car accident on July 3 in Zamora, Spain.

The first essential player was filled before the Reds season, which was held in Preston, with impressive moments to honor the brothers. The stadium has been moved through the heart performance of Elvis Pressley’s cannot help in falling in love and iconic pursuit that you will not walk alone, the hymn of Liverpool.

As the latter echoed the Earth, Captain Preston Ben Wittman, who clearly overcomes with emotion, placed a wreath of flowers in front of the section that includes Liverpool supporters.

The fans ultimately prompted respect with flags, scarves and banners that remember ex -wolves and Porto striker.

They sang Gota’s chant as the players appeared from the tunnel. Follow a precise silence.

In the 20th minute – a reference to the Jota shirt number – the crowd erupted again in a song in his memory.

The Matchday program was distinguished by a black and white image from Jota to upload the English Premier League Cup, surrounded by his honoring messages and brother.

In a touching gesture, Liverpool announced on Friday at 20:20 GMT that the Gota 20 shirt will be permanently retired throughout the club.

Speaking to Liverpool TV for the first time since the tragedy, the main coach Arney Sliot presented his ideas on how the club treats: “If we want to laugh, we laugh; if we want to cry, we will cry.

“If they want to train, they can train, if they do not want to train, they will not be able to train. But be yourself, do not think that you should be different from your feelings that tell you.

“We will always carry it with us in our hearts, in our thoughts, wherever we go.”

Jota scored 65 goals in 182 games during his period in Liverpool, where he played a pivotal role in the FA Cup for the club and double the league in 2022 and the last victory in the Premier League.

Another like Portugal in the final of the Nations League against Spain on June 8, where another cup helped. In total, he scored 14 goals across 49 capsules for his country.
