A poignant tribute. Tearing. The emotion was too strong this Friday for Joao Cancelo and Ruben Neves, the two Portuguese players of the Al-Hilal club. Aligned at the center of the field with their partners before the quarter -final of the World Cup of football clubs against the Brazilians Fluminense, the two friends were unable to retain their tears when the faces of Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva, who died Thursday in a terrible car accident, appeared on the giant screens of the Orlando World Stadium campsite.
On the images of the ceremony and the minute of silence, we see the two players overwhelmed with sorrow and supported by their partners. The death of the two Portuguese struck and hit the world of football.
Ruben Neves, who is the partner with whom Diogo Jota has played the most in his career, had published on the day of the drama a message on his Instagram story to pay tribute to his friend: “They say that we only lose people when you forget them. I will never forget you! ».
