An event that stirred the Portuguese football community — the death of Liverpool forward Diogo Jota in a traffic accident — left an indelible mark not only on his teammates, but also on the hearts of millions of fans worldwide. His compatriot and Al Hilal midfielder Rúben Neves sent a letter that deeply touched Jota’s memory.
In this heartfelt letter, Neves recalls his warm and sincere relationship with Diogo Jota and emphasizes that he regarded him not only as a friend but as a family member. “Wherever you are, I know you will read this letter. We were never particularly sentimental, and now I regret it a little. You know very well what you mean to me, and I also know what I mean to you,” Neves says in his letter. Every minute spent together in the national team, filled with joy and dreams, remained endlessly precious for Neves.
“You are not just a friend for me, you are family. When I come to the national team, you are always next to me: at the table, on the bus, on the plane. Just like before, always nearby. We laugh, make plans, share everything we have. I do everything I can to make sure you remain a part of my life. If you are thinking about us from afar, I worry so that everything is well with your loved ones,” he expresses.
Through this letter, Neves emphasizes that the memory of Jota will remain forever in his heart, and their friendship will never disappear. “Life made us close, and now nothing can separate us. We have achieved a lot. From today, you will go out on the field with me and continue from where we left off.
I love you,” the footballer concluded.
Officials and experts describe Neves’s letter as a truly sincere friendly envoy. The tragedy of Diogo Jota left an indelible memory in the football community — once again forcing reflection on friendship, loyalty, and the fleetingness of life. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
