Since yesterday, the football planet has been in mourning. Diogo Jota and André Silva both died in a car accident in Spain. A news that has upset everyone. Despite everything, some rumors have surfaced. We mentioned the fact that the two brothers were going to party in particular. What Miguel Gonçalves, the physiotherapist of the Liverpool player, firmly denied in the columns of Record. He was in regular contact with the player of the Portuguese national team who had just undergone an intervention in the lung a few days earlier.
It was for this reason that he had decided to hit the road with his brother, since he had been strongly advised him to take the plane. “I said goodbye to him and his brother André, around 8:30 p.m. His brother was an excellent companion and decided to accompany him on the trip, and in this way, they would also spend more time together. They were going to travel at night because they were cooler, but they did not go directly (in Santander, Spain). He told me that the trip would last about eight hours, but that they would stop in a hotel in the Burgos region to rest. ”
The doctor who followed Diogo Jota confides
He added: “Diogo was very aware of his professionalism. They just had to arrive in Santander today (Thursday), take the boat and then go to England. The family would arrive later by plane, would organize their life during the weekend and then, on Monday, they had a medical appointment scheduled in Liverpool to assess the situation. I have read regrettable things on the internet, and I even heard in the media. To be clear, Diogo and André did not party at all. Then, he explained that the footballer had pushed his operation to participate in the League of Nations. »» A daring but paid choice since he won this trophy with his country, to the detriment of his health.
“He risked his health to help the national team. He experienced an extraordinary recovery, he was undoubtedly an outstanding professional. He scrupulously followed my advice, as evidenced by his convalescence. The base of his right lung had slightly sagged, but thanks to postoperative physiotherapy, it was practically impeccable. When I left him yesterday, he was no longer suffering and was going to return to Liverpool. He was enthusiastic, confident in his healing and enthusiastic for next season. He told me that he would not participate in Liverpool's pre-season tour in Japan to consolidate his convalescence, because he was convinced that he was going to have an excellent season. “ A season that will not be the same in Liverpool and everywhere else after the disappearance of Diogo Jota and André Silva.
