After the five major European leagues ended, the Club World Cup took over the focus of the football world and became a hot topic. Just as the quarterfinals were confirmed to be about to enter a tense final battle, the news of Diogo Jota's car accident suddenly attacked the football world, causing the grief ripples that should have been calm. The 28-year-old main force of the wealthy family has just entered the marriage hall and enjoyed the joy of being a father for the first time, but he left without saying goodbye. The sorrow in it is beyond words. This is Liverpool's Black Anniversary, and it is also a tragedy in football and a tragedy of mankind.
In the sad afternoon, it was not just the regret that Liverpool
Club World Cup started, which caused a lot of topics, such as Manchester City was defeated by the New Moon, Inter Milan was out of the upset and internal strife, and the road to promotion of Real Madrid and Bayern and other giants was ups and downs. But just in this gap, just after the end of the five major leagues, the sudden bad news from the interval season that should have been rested broke every football fan's heart. Liverpool's 28-year-old main winger Diogo Jota died in a car accident, and his younger brother is also with him. The accident occurred in the province of Zamora, Spain, so Le Marca took the lead in giving a report, and they disclosed the detailed details and the incident. But even so, after seeing the news, people still can't believe it; many people are looking forward to a reversal: You are a Spanish newspaper, what is the matter in England?
Regrett, such "anger" could not be transformed into "motive" for reversal. After Sky Sports and Portuguese media followed up, the Portuguese Football Association issued an announcement to confirm that the news was true. Slot updated the social media to express his condolences to Jota. In this way, it was confirmed that it would come true. Jota said goodbye to us forever. The ink marks on the manuscript are still growing into a forest, and the torches that burn books have sneaked through the window frame. As he was writing down freshness on the ruins with a quill pen, the tip of the pen was dripping with his own solidified blood pouring down. No one expected that the main force of the wealthy family, who was only 28 years old, ended his green career in this way and was forced to hand over the answer to his life. This should have been a gorgeous report card, but unexpectedly, the Portuguese said goodbye in advance before half of it.
What's more regrettable is that he has just entered the palace of marriage and enjoys the beauty of happiness. He has such a lovely child waiting for his company. The last content posted on the social media was still a photo of him and his wife's church. Perhaps, the congratulations they swore to each other to each other still echoed in the air...
This was a sad afternoon, a time that was enough to regret all fans. The general star falls and the destiny is hard to violate. Goodbye, Ruta.
The talent is outstanding, but it has not won the trust of Atletico Madrid
The past is fake, and memories are a road with no end. When we open Diogo-Jota's brilliant but short career experience, our regrets will only double. Born in Porto on December 4, 1996, he was born for football like the name of this city. I have been in the local echelon since I was a child, and at the age of 9, I came to the youth training camp in Gondomar. Jota was also the dazzling new star.
At the age of 16, Jota, who was already very stylish, could hardly stop him in the youth training team. He shot 39 goals in 37 games and exploded in a state of great reputation. He is a young man who scouts have a very famous name. At the age of 18, he joined the Ferreira Club of Paso and officially started his career. The Portuguese Cup is the stage for him to make his personal debut. He made his debut and his debut against Reg Engels, and everything was so natural. By the age of 19, Jota had played 35 times in the season and scored 14 goals. Such high efficiency performance naturally won widespread praise from the outside world. In the end, Atletico Madrid representative successfully convinced him and transferred to La Liga. However, Simeone, who had a too full frame, chose to loan him to Porto and continue to compete in the Portuguese Super League. This type of talent training model is also common, and Atletico Madrid had high expectations for him at that time.
In 2017, Jota came to Wolves to play for, and Simone did not give enough opportunities. Jota was temporarily parting ways with La Liga. In Wolves, Jota continued his high efficiency. In his first season of joining, he achieved 18 goals and 5 assists, with almost no adaptation or running-in. This made the coach particularly happy, and they also completed the upgrade to the Premier League.
In 2018, the Wolves bought Jota without any surprise, and he officially became a member of the team. The dice of fate had already been thrown out. When the javelin was out of hand, he suddenly realized that he was just a puppet in the hand of the god. Those broken records were originally cages tailored for him by fate. Just like Oedipus's rescue, Jota was not abandoned by Atletico Madrid and gave up on himself. After officially joining the Wolves, he longed for a new life.
switched to the Premier League. After Jota entered the wealthy hall
and came to Wolves, Jota continued his style. Relying on his advantage on the wing, he created countless opportunities and became one of the terrifying figures in this event. Although he is only 22 years old, he shows extraordinary maturity. On December 5, 2018, in the 15th round of the Premier League, when Jota took the stage, the proud Blues were forced to swallow the bitter fruit of failure: he scored his personal virginity and helped the Wolves get upset and defeated Chelsea.
When interviewed, Ruota was overwhelmed. Although he has long been a talent star, after he really came to the top stage, he knew that the challenges here were wonderful, difficult, full of vitality but extremely dangerous.
After just 8 rounds, Jota completed his first hat-trick and beat Leicester City. At that time, the media was filled with his celebration pictures, and Jota became a shining newcomer in England. With his performance of 10 goals and 7 assists, the Wolves won the 7th place, not only qualified for the Europa League next season, but also successfully ranked among the "heroic killers": the Big Bad Wolves at that time were indeed not easy to mess with.. In 2020 after
, Ruota was still working hard, but unfortunately, the troubles of injury and uncertainty outside the game made his condition a little shaky. But even so, he still got a 16 goals and 5 assists to help Wolves stabilize their seventh place.
131 appearances in three seasons, and 44 goals and 17 assists were enough to prove his strength. As a result, the Red Army submitted an invitation and he officially married into a wealthy family. The eighty-four days of waiting were exchanged for a pair of fish bones, and Santiago's wrinkles were carved with the ridicule of the sea; just like the marathon runner insisted on reaching the finish line before the collapse, all persistence eventually became a footnote to the destiny of laughter. Ruta did it too.
After joining Liverpool, Klopp gave him a lot of opportunities, and Jota successfully seized them. From his debut against Arsenal and his first goal, to a hat-trick against Atlanta 5-0, to the great achievement of completing the club's 10,000-ball mark, Jota seemed to be favored by the goddess of luck and became Anfield's name at that time. When the afternoon sun in Merseyside County spread across the court, Jota won Klopp's praise with his magical extraordinary and won the applause of the audience. He knew that he had made the right choice this time.
The injuries are constantly going on, and Jota is trying to return
Unfortunately, by the end of this year, a knee injury disrupted Klopp's plan, which caused Jota to be absent for several months.
Later, he returned to Ruota, but was very successful and was not troubled by injuries. From scoring a key penalty against Chelsea to winning the championship, to winning the FA Cup against Nottingham to advance, to hitting a penalty in the final and winning streak of the Blues, Jota has played his worth. Although he has gradually become a substitute, he never complains, and his diligent character has also been praised by fans.
Unfortunately, in the 2021/22 season, Jota suffered another serious injury against Manchester City, which forced him to fall. It happened to be a World Cup match at the time of the truce, so he had to miss the opportunity to fight for his country. In the previous European League and World Cup qualifiers, he was a good helper for Ronaldo and made trouble on the wing, but unfortunately, things went against his wishes.
The time is coming to 2023. Jota is not in a state of inferiority due to injury, and has encountered a continuous shortage of goals. On April 18 against Leeds United, he finally scored and ended his 33-game record of not scoring, eased the pressure. The subsequent scored twice and scored continuously, which made some regaining face. The performance of Tottenham's decisive victory is memorable, and it may be a classic work he personally recognized. Of course, Liverpool also encountered many problems at that time, and Klopp encountered resistance.
Two injuries (ligaments) at the end of December and early 2024 made Jota fall again. Just as the moment the Milky Way poured into her pupils, she suddenly realized that all beauty exists for the sake of being let down. At that time, Ruta seemed to have lost her confidence, and her agility on the court was not as good as in the past, which is indeed regrettable.
If you still exist in this world, then no matter what the world is, it will be meaningful to me; if you are gone, no matter how beautiful the world is, it is just a desert in my eyes. Fortunately, Liverpool waited for Slot and Jota survived the difficult times. After completing the 7th round of Liverpool's 100-goal memorial in the seventh round of this season, he also completed his personal 100-goal record at the end of the year and slowly recovered his form.
On April 3, 2025, Jota staged a winning show against Everton, and he received an assist from Louis Dias to help the team win. But no one expected that this goal was a masterpiece he gave to the fans. In the European League battle in June, Jota came on as a substitute, and Portugal successfully defeated his opponent and won the trophy. This is also his last championship in his career.
Say goodbye, and there is no trace of him in the world. Unexpectedly, Slott led Anfield to create a miraculous great cause, but Ruta no longer had the chance to follow this trusted coach and fight in the war. After the car accident, he and his brother said goodbye to us forever and bid farewell to this green field that he loved very deeply. In fact, recalling Ruota's career is a companionship of regret. From joining the powerful team and not being valued to trying to prove that he entered a wealthy family, his story is inspiring. But unexpectedly, I should have continued to be beautiful but encountered such a tragic end.
Blind my eyes! Let me never see this cursed world again! Perhaps when Atletico gave up on him, Jota's howl like Oedipus, heralding the opening of rebirth; but now he is in misfortune, he can only send out powerless grief. No one would have thought that this was the end of the story.
Perhaps, the beauty of sadness lies in the incompleteness. When the sun once again spreads a corner of Merseyside as the past, when the emotional shouts ripples in Anfield's palace again, you will still wander freely and lively in the agility and elegance. The KOP song will still be sung for you because you are from Liverpool, you are the hero of this century-old store, and you will never walk alone. Rest in peace, Ruta.
