In this problem
On the early morning of July 3, I typed the words “Diogo Jota” right into the search bar of our image provider. One of the most recent outcomes showed the 28 -year-old celebrating the Nations League victory with his Portugal team-mates. With a little bit much more scrolling, he was flaunting the Premier League prize with the streets of Liverpool. Filtering system the search to “amusement” revealed him getting married to Rute Cardoso, the mommy of his three kids. Simply 11 days after the wedding, he was eliminated in a car crash with his brother Andre Silva; a plain reminder that life can be brief and vicious, which football is second. This issue is committed to Diogo Jose Teixeira da Silva.
