The head coach of Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal team, Simone Indzaghi, commented on the death of Liverpool's Portuguese forward Diogo Jota. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The 28-year-old footballer passed away in a car accident. According to the coach, this incident was a very heavy and tragic event for the team.
He emphasized that there were two Portuguese players in the team – Neves and Cancelo, who were close friends with Jota. Their loss created a completely different atmosphere within the team.
