00:00Shocking and absolutely tragic news about Diogo Jota.
00:04For our audience who do not follow football, who was Diogo
00:08and how integral was he to the Liverpool football team?
00:14A shocking day all round, as you say there, Lee.
00:17Even fans who are not Liverpool fans but are fans of football
00:21will have woken up today with a sense of disbelief.
00:25This young, talented player started his career,
00:27Pacos Ferreira, Atletico Madrid.
00:30The move then came from Porto to Wolves.
00:34And then ÂŁ41 million is what Jurgen Klopp paid Wolves for.
00:39His service is clearly a talented individual.
00:41In that campaign where he was in the West Midlands,
00:46Jota helped the club climb from mid-championship team
00:51into the Premier League.
00:53He won promotion with them and then they were successful
00:56in a Europa League campaign where he scored back-to-back hat-tricks.
01:01Now, his talent was then picked up elsewhere.
01:04He was on the radio of big clubs.
01:05But it was at Liverpool that he really shone.
01:08He was one of these that Jurgen Klopp said,
01:10look, you know, he's a dedicated football person.
01:13He looks after himself.
01:14He trains hard.
01:15He pushes on the front foot.
01:17He can go left, right.
01:18He can score with his head, as fans of opposing teams can attest to.
01:22But what we saw with Jota was a humility.
