Ian Rush explains that Jota s funeral is absent: My brother just passed away last week and is busy dealing with the funeral

July 7th Liverpool celebrity Ian Rush posted on Instagram explaining why he missed Diogo Jota's funeral.

Ian Rush wrote: "May you rest in peace, Diogo and Andre."

"In Liverpool, we always regard each other as family members. Now that a family member has left, we must unite and help each other, and this spirit has been fully demonstrated in the past few days. I originally planned to attend Diogo's funeral, but my brother just passed away last week. When I was busy dealing with his funeral, the bad news about Diogo came suddenly. This period was really difficult and it was not possible to make a move. . "

" Actually, my brother has been seriously ill for a long time, but just like Diogo's departure, it still feels unreal. Diogo's wife Lute, their three lovely children, parents and relatives are suffering unimaginable pain. This tragedy took away Diogo and his brother Andre Silva at the same time. We deeply mourn both of them. "

" Diogo is a great player, perhaps the most natural endorsement of the club. He is always 100% dedicated to the bench. He is both low-key and pragmatic inside and outside the court, never becoming the focus of the headlines, but just doing his duty silently. This true gentleman will be remembered by people with his unique character, just as he left his mark in Liverpool and Portuguese football. "

" This is especially difficult for Liverpool players who are about to return to the team to train. The outside world expects them to focus on their work, but they are ordinary people who are as flesh and blood as we do. Everyone's grief It's different. At this moment, everyone is unable to accept reality and try to maintain normality but can't do anything. For some people, this impact will even be delayed because the severity of the tragedy has not yet appeared. "

"I know very well that when the important people leave, they often feel the bone-broken pain after several weeks. Life always has to continue, but it's not easy. Diogo will never be forgotten, he has dedicated everything to Liverpool. Our son of Portugal, eternal"
