😭 Robertson reveals letter from Diogo Jota's widow: You won't go alone | OneFootball

The tragic deaths of Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva on July 3 last year have once again made headlines.

Robertson, one of the great friends of the then Liverpool forward, revealed that he received a special letter before taking the field with Scotland at the FIFA World Cup.

The sender? Rute Cardoso, Diogo Jota’s widow. 

They shared the dream of playing in the first World Cup of their respective careers, something only the now Tottenham left-back will be able to do.

Diogo Jota would certainly have been in Portugal’s squad, which had no trouble qualifying. 

Robertson’s Scotland, meanwhile, only secured its place in the final round by beating Denmark, with McTominay shining (he scored with a bicycle kick) and McLean scoring from midfield.

It will end a drought of six editions without playing in the World Cup, as its last appearance came in 1998, in France.

Just like in 1998, Brazil and Morocco await in the group stage.

Haiti completes Group C and will be the opponent next Saturday (13), starting at 10 p.m. (Brasília time).
