Kelleher Talk Wetin Jota Death Mean for Liverpool

My people, hear wetin former Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher talk as e relate to the sad passing of Diogo Jota. This one no be small matter, oh! As Kelleher yarn, e say dis season no be only about the ball wey dem dey play, but about how the players dey handle dis emotional wahala.

Diogo Jota, wey na Portuguese winger, die last summer, and him loss really shake the Liverpool family, no be joke. E score 65 goals for 182 games wey e play for Liverpool and help dem collect FA Cup and League Cup for 2022. But this season na different ball game for dem, as dem dey struggle to even make top four.

Kelleher, wey don move to Brentford, talk say as ex-Liverpool player, e feel say dis season’s performance no dey important as people fit think. E say, ‘Football get plenty opinion, but wetin dey happen for players’ head and heart no fit just be brushed aside.’

As e dey reason am, Kelleher talk say the way Jota take die don really affect their mentality. E dey notice say different from the normal football pressure, dis one na serious gbege wey plenty people no dey understand. Some players like Andrew Robertson don talk say how dem dey find am hard to concentrate because Jota dey full their minds.

Even Liverpool coach Arne Slot no go fit deny say Jota absence dey weigh dem down. E talk say dem go miss Jota for a long time and e no sure wetin e go mean for their success this season. As e drop that one, e also emphasize say dem no go use Jota death as excuse for poor results, but e hear say dem dey feel am too.

Kelleher dey optimistic for di boys as dem prepare to face some matches to recover their form. E believe say once dem fit find their footing, e go help dem cope with di darkness wey dey hover over dem since Jota take waka come off. But as all Naija sabi, na wetin dem do na im go count for dem at the end of di day.

For now, Liverpool go dey try to bounce back, and dem go need to support each other to heal from dis serious loss. Na true say football no be just wetin dem dey play for pitch, e get as e dey touch people life, and dis one na prime example.
