28-year-old footballer Diogo Jota died as a result of a car accident, which plunged the entire football community into mourning. Many famous personalities from Portugal — coaches, footballers, and friends — attended his funeral, A Bola reported.
However, the question that drew everyone’s attention was the fact that the national team captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, did not come to this important event. Among fans and journalists who didn’t see him, various questions arose: why didn’t the Portuguese star show his respect in person?
According to the source, the reason for Cristiano Ronaldo’s decision was the mass media. If he had attended the funeral, all attention would have been drawn to him, which could have negatively affected the essence of the ceremony. He anticipated in advance that a large flow of journalists might prevent the funeral from being held peacefully.
Therefore, although Ronaldo did not attend in person, he remains in regular contact with Jota’s relatives. He continues to provide moral support and encouragement to the family members.
Such relationships are very important in the football world. Every action is noticed — some show loyalty in public, while others express their respect behind the scenes.
