Take a look at the entire message from Arne Slot

“What can someone say at a time like this, when the shock and pain are so incredibly cruel? I would like to have the words, but I know I don’t have. All I have are feelings that I know that many people share a person and a player that we have loved a lot and a family that cares so much. My first thoughts are those of a football coach. Di Dogogo and André Silva, who have suffered an inherent loss.

My message is very clear to them: you will never walk alone. The players, the technical team, the Liverpool Football Club fans are all with you and, from what I saw today, the same can be said of the football family. This is not just an answer to the tragedy. It is also a reaction to the goodness of the people involved and to the respect that many have for children as individuals and the family as a whole. For us, as a club, the sensation of shock is absolute. Diogo was not just our player. He was a loved one for all of us. He was a teammate, a colleague, a worker and, in all these functions, he was very special.

When I arrived at the club, one of the first songs I met was the one that our Fan sing in Diogo. I had never worked with him before, but I immediately learned that if the Liverpool fans, who saw so many great players over the years, had such a unique corner for Diogo, should have had special qualities. The fact that we have lost these qualities in such terrible circumstances is something that we are not yet compliant. Therefore, we need everyone in the club to join and support us with each other. We owe it to Diogo, André Silva, to his family and ourselves. My condolences to Diogo’s wife, Ruth, to his three beautiful children and parents of Diogo and André Silva. When the moment arrives, we will celebrate Diogo Jota, we will remember his goals and sing his song. For now, we will remember him as a unique human being and regret his loss. It will never be forgotten.

His name is Diogo. “
