'Humble, dignified and quiet off the pitch - but hungry on it'
The Athletic's Liverpool correspondent James Pearce reflected on the first time he interviewed Diogo Jota as part of his tribute on BBC Radio Merseyside: "I'll always remember the first interview I did with him a few months after he joined Liverpool from Wolves in 2020. Advertisement "He was talking about his journey to get to the top and how his personality had very much been shaped by the knock-backs he'd had - because his journey was very different to a lot of other members of the Liverpool squad. "He grew up in a suburb of Porto, yet he hadn't been part of an elite academy; he hadn't been taken on by Porto or any of the other elite Portuguese clubs. "He told me he was still paying to play football at the age of 16 and had all these people questioning whether he had what it took to get to the top. "You could see that in the way he played because off the pitch he was so humble, dignified and quiet. Advertisement "Everyone loved him at Liverpool. He was universally popular among players and staff, but then on the pitch, when he crossed that white line, you could see the hunger inside him. "That hunger had been built since he was a young player trying to prove people wrong and that he was good enough to get to the top. "Didn't he do just that. He was a magnificent footballer for Liverpool. He had such a knack of scoring crucial goals. The memories he has left behind will last forever."
