Diogo Jota’s wife opens up about the dreadful accident that led to her husband’s passing and the reasons behind his road travel: The facts disclosed
Diogo Jota’s Wife has stood by him since DAY ONE; even before he became a star, she was there beside him.
She has been with him from the time he had nothing. They were together for 13 years and just recently got married a few days ago. He shared the news on Instagram barely 48 hours ago.
She has witnessed his journey from the early days at F.C. Paços de Ferreira to his current position at Liverpool FC.
Together, they have three children and only recently tied the knot after years of being together.
“So all these luxury sports cars can’t save a passenger in situations like this?”— Liverpool striker, Diogo Jota, and his elder brother lost their lives in a car accident, as she reflects on the futility of those expensive vehicles.
His parents had just two children. They raised them with all they had until both became successful footballers. Jota was playing for Liverpool, while his brother played for a second-division club in Portugal. Tragically, they both passed away last night in that car accident.
“He never asked us for anything. He never expressed a desire for branded boots. He understood our financial limitations, and he was considerate. That’s why he learned to appreciate things—and life.
The feedback we received from Paços de Ferreira (his first club) was incredible. They told us Diogo was very responsible and mature. And for us, that was sufficient.
Knowing our son behaved well was more rewarding than seeing him become a superstar. It made us feel that our efforts had been worthwhile, and that filled us with pride.
As a teenager, he never went out at night, except for his birthday. No dinners out, no parties—nothing. He preferred to stay home, even when I encouraged him to go out.
For Diogo, if there was soccer in the afternoon and PlayStation at night, that was all he needed. We worked hard to provide him with his first console. He never asked for it. He never requested anything.
The touching letter composed by Isabel Silva, the mother of Diogo Jota, featured in The Players’ Tribune, reflects on her son.
Diogo Jota and his sibling were en route to Liverpool for pre-season training. He was making his way to the port to catch a ferry to the UK.
The forward was unable to fly due to a recent lung surgery — medical professionals had recommended against air travel.
