We’ll probably never get over Jota’s death – Robertson

Andy Robertson claims that Diogo Jota’s passing will “probably never be resolved by him and his Liverpool team-mates.”

The 28-year-old Liverpool and Portugal forward was killed in a car accident in July along with his brother Andre Silva.

Scotland captain Robertson, “I don’t think anyone could care less about football when things like that happen.”

“So shocking,” First and foremost, devastating for his family, but obviously devastating for our young people.

Left-back Robertson chose to stay at Anfield after Jota’s passing and explained that as an experienced member of the squad, he felt a strong duty to help others when his starting position was no longer certain.

He continued, “It’s the most difficult thing we’ll ever go through.” We’ll probably never get over losing one of your closest friends, but it’s something we need to carry with us.

The memories we have must be carried with us, and as long as we keep doing that, they will always be in our minds. He will be a constant companion in our lives.

It didn’t have an impact on my choice. Before the tragedy, I had already made the decision, but I already knew the club needed me at that time.

“I am aware that I am a team leader, and I am now obviously vice-captain.”

This season will require a lot of work. Even as lads in the changing room, we will all need assistance during the season, even though football was irrelevant.

“We’ve already had difficult experiences, including having to attend your teammate’s funeral, which is absolutely insane, and everything else that came after.”

The club’s leaders, I am aware, have a big job to do in terms of supporting everyone through this extremely difficult time, including Diogo’s family.
