“Liverpool is scheduled to start its training before the start of the season on Monday, so Jota was returning to the United Kingdom on a wild trip with his brother less than two weeks after his marriage on June 22,” she added.
Why did Jota travel in the car, not on the plane?
The newspaper pointed out that the doctors advised the Liverpool star not to travel by air after undergoing surgery, so he decided to travel on a cruise after crossing the Spanish border by car.
The phrase “Britaini Veriz” from the Spanish city of Santander to the English city of Pleimouth will leave at four in the afternoon of Britain time, and it is expected to arrive at eleven and a quarter on Friday morning.
Portuguese journalist Victor Pinto told the “CMTV” channel that Diogo was sometimes choosing to travel on the wild road because he was suffering from some pulmonary discomfort, and as we know, there is a ferry linking southern England to Spain.
The emergency services in the Castilla and Lyon area in Spain confirmed the accident and the death of two people about 12:35 am on Thursday morning, then the Portuguese Football Association confirmed the death of Diogo and Andre about eight in the morning.
The secret of the difference of the title of Jota from his brother
Dugo was born in the name of Dugo da Silva, but he changed his title to Gota to distinguish him from others, as it is a common title.
Gota was part of the Liverpool squad winner of the Premier League in the 2024-2025 season, scoring 6 goals in 26 games, as he played with Portugal and contributed to winning the European Nations League last month with an exceptional victory over his rival Spain on penalties.
As for his younger brother, he was playing in Benaville, in the second degree in the Portuguese League.
