If you look football history, no be all clubs dey do dis kind thing. Sometimes e dey turn to court case, sometimes family dey suffer because of legal grammar. But here, Liverpool decide say life pass money, family deserve peace, and respect dey important.
E no easy for Jota family, because no amount of money fit replace person. But at least, dem go get small comfort say di club wey he play for still stand gidigba with dem.
For fans, dis one na reminder say footballers no be machine. Dem be human beings wey dey sacrifice body, health, sometimes life, just to entertain us. Anytime dem wear jersey, na risk dem dey take. So when something like dis happen, na love and respect we suppose dey show.
Di matter still dey fresh, but one thing clear – Liverpool go always dey remembered as club wey dey put family first. Arne Slot don score big points with fans because of di way e handle am. E dey show say e no just wan win trophies, e wan build family spirit inside club.
