Liverpool deeply feels the loss of Diogo Jota and the club's reaction, as a whole, to the player's death is going far beyond a mere lament. First of all, with the displacement of several elements of the networks, both from the squad and the technical team and the top management to Gondomar, for the wake, but also through the decision to assume the payment of the remaining two years of Diogo Jota's contract to the family.
On Thursday, in a statement, the English club assumed the desire to "immortalize" the number 20 jersey for the contribution of the Portuguese international in winning the Premier League this year, in what was the 20th English championship for the Reds. Moreover, fans of the mythical club have been asking on social networks for the removal of the number 20 jersey, worn by the player in the five seasons in which he represented this emblem, where he won four titles.
At Anfield, thousands have passed by the memorial next to Liverpool's stadium, leaving flowers, scarves, shirts and photographs. For example, Jordan Henderson, former captain of the Reds, made a point of paying tribute to the Portuguese international today and ended up not being able to contain his emotion.
