Diogo Jota Death: Konaté’s Heartbreak & Tributes

Ibrahima Konaté “still can’t believe it” this Thursday evening. In a long text published on his social networks, the French international of Liverpool pays a vibrant tribute to Diogo Jota, who died in a car accident alongside his brother. A tragic disappearance that has caused numerous tributes on the football planet.

“I am devastated,” writes the tricolor defender. I have no words to express my feelings. Beyond the extraordinary footballer you were, there was an exceptional man, a friend, a brother! That André and you can rest in peace. I am really devastated by this news. This club, this family that we have shared together, will never forget you!

I think back at all times that we have shared and I still can’t believe it, they all seemed perfect … You can be sure of one thing: your family will not work alone. We will be there to help them go through this devastating moment. (…) I love you my brother ”.

Like Paul Pogba, Ibrahima Konaté takes the opportunity to pass a more general message to his followers: “I would like to address the whole world: today, it’s Diogo and his brother. Yesterday was someone else. Tomorrow it could be us. Let us take advantage of every moment that life offers us, with our families, our friends, even foreigners. Let’s try to live in peace and send us love. We don’t know what tomorrow will be. »»
