Diogo Jota was a glorious finisher at his athletic peak - His death is a brutal reminder of life's fragility
FOR MOST OF us, professional sport is a grand choreography of pure vicariousness. It is through our athletes' exploits we can experience their range of feelings and express them just as viscerally, and so the emotional chord between supporter and sportsperson is invisible but taut and clean. It is this link which makes so shocking the deaths of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre. Their death is a bracing, brutal reminder of the sheer fragility of life. That footballers can die at their athletic peak reminds us that everything - everything – in our lives can be snatched away at any moment. This is a necessarily confounding thing. Jota's story is truly too heartbreaking to countenance. He is a father of three young children, and married his long-term partner only 10 days ago. His children will now grow up without their father; his parents will soon bury their only two children. Do not try to make sense of this because there is no making sense of it. Acknowledge instead the importance of celebrating life. Advertisement Jota was a terrific footballer, a penalty-box striker who made almost 50 appearances for Portugal in the era of their greatest penalty-box striker of all time. He failed to make his first breakthrough at Atletico Madrid but excelled on loan first at Porto and then at Wolverhampton Wanderers, scoring 17 goals in the 44 Championship games to hoist them to the Premier League. There his performances were such that Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool identified him as the right player to further elevate his recently-crowned champions, whose performances had marked them out as arguably the greatest team in the club's rich history. Jota, in Klopp's own words, proved to be the 'perfect signing.' He shared Roberto Firmino's intelligence at linking play and creating space for Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, and also had the ferocious work-rate needed to lead Klopp's intense pressing game, melding these qualities with a unerring threat in the penalty area. Though only 5ft 10in, Jota was superb in the air, and Jamie Carragher has publicly maintained that Jota was the best pure finisher at Liverpool, even moreso than Salah. He could also be relied upon to carry Liverpool in Salah's absence, scoring twice against Arsenal in the 2022 League Cup semi-finals while Salah and Mane were at the Africa Cup of Nations. Liverpool would go on to win the trophy, the first of Jota's major medals at Anfield. There followed the FA Cup a few months later, another League Cup medal last year and, of course, his first Premier League medal last season.

Alamy Stock Photo Alamy Stock Photo There will forever be a poignancy now to the fact Jota, who wore the number 20 jersey, scored the very first goal of a season that delivered Liverpool's 20th league title. His final goal was the winner in an Anfield derby against Everton, and it was a signature Jota goal: taking possession near a crowded penalty area, he bashed and wriggled his way forward -his brain whirring much too quickly for the defenders in front of him – before tucking the ball away. His appetite to battle with defenders belied his height, and in truth it contributed to the injury problems which saw him play less for Liverpool than either Klopp or Arne Slot would have liked. 'Diogo gets in each game knocks like crazy,' said Klopp last year. 'If I go through the list of medical reports I got over the years since Diogo is here, he's in each and every one of them. Not as injured, just as – 'has a bruise, has a knock, has that' – after each game.' For all his obvious talents, it is this elemental bravery of Jota's that most endeared him to supporters. Amid the celebrations at Anfield with the Premier League trophy, Jota told an interviewer his next plan was to win the Nations League with Portugal, a vow on which he duly delivered. This was a belated moment of joy in the international realm for Jota, who was forced to miss the 2022 World Cup because of injury. Morocco's defensive stand in their 1-0 quarter-final win over Portugal was made much easier by Jota's absence. He leaves a great absence now. The vividness and intensity of sporting theatre puts flesh and a bright glare on Shakespeare's theory of life as a walking shadow, but he was right about the ignorance of the curtain's fall. 'It doesn't make sense,' said Cristiano Ronaldo in reaction today. Ronaldo is right. Enjoy life. Treasure life.

No bids for Cathal O'Sullivan as Cork City future unclear
Cork City have yet to receive a bid for Cathal O'Sullivan, increasing the teen's prospect of remaining on for the team's relegation battle. The exciting attacker turned 18 in March and although former City boss Tim Clancy predicted a summer departure to the UK, he could now see out his contact. That free agent scenario would reduce the club's financial gain to around €300,000 of Fifa compensation for training and development. Conversely, Clancy's successor since mid-May, Ger Nash, requires his optimal personnel to avoid the Rebels slipping into the First Division for the second time in three years. A winless run of 11 games leaves them anchored to the basement, four points adrift of Sligo Rovers heading into Friday's visit to champions Shelbourne. Crystal Palace were favourites to land the recent Ireland U21 international, after he'd met the Premier League club's hierarchy on a visit, but no formal offers were lodged since, or before, the summer window opened last Tuesday. 'The situation with Cathal is very simple,' outlined Nash. 'He's gone 18 so any club can put an offer in as they see fit. We've not had any bids so far. 'I don't think it's necessarily a July or August thing. He's a good young player and time will tell.' O'Sullivan has been leaned on during a trying season back in the Premier Division, starting every game when available up until recently. Nash took the decision to manage his game-time by restricting his involvement to substitute appearances in the last two matches, home draws against Drogheda United and St Patrick's Athletic that curbed the losing streak. 'I've had a lot of experience of dealing with talented young players,' said the manager, whose previous managerial roles were with Ipswich Town and Aston Villa development squads. 'During the recent league break, he went away on international duty with Ireland's U21s. Sometimes you give young players a rest to refresh them. We think highly of Cathal and are really pleased with him. He can play in a variety of formations but as a good player he can fit in anywhere.' Club owner Dermot Usher last week indicated to fans' representatives at least six signings across this window. Half of that complement are secured – chiselled defenders Fiacre Kelleher and Rory Feely, along with ex-Villa attacker Charlie Lutz – with a fourth imminent. That appears to be a goalkeeper as a direct replacement for Tein Troost, the Dutch stopper who last week opted against a permanent deal despite City meeting the €75,000 buy-out clause with NAC Breda. Troost's understudy, Conor Brann, is lined up to be in goal at Tolka Park. Whether he still is by 7.45pm on Friday or another is between the sticks, they'll only have eight seconds to release the ball from their hands under a new rule. Should they fail to do so, a corner is awarded to the opposition. Read More Reynolds and Bohs tried everything to avoid turning Mousset loose 'Conor Brann is our goalkeeper at the moment, supported by a couple of academy goalkeepers,' he said of the 22-year-old who has yet to play a league game since joining last Christmas. 'We're definitely in the market for a goalkeeper, potentially for tomorrow. I've known about Conor a while, even at his previous club in Galway United, and we've good belief in him playing tomorrow.' Nash added about the recruitment plans of himself and assistant David Meyler: 'It's really important the players we go after a certain profile and want to be here. We're prepared to be patient and not panic. 'You've seen that with Fiacre and Rory. We'll have done quite well to have four in the door by Friday. It was important we got those in and hopefully we're ahead of ourselves. 'You can sign too many players in the window. The nature of losing some players means there will be changes but you want to keep the dressing-room connected rather than starting again.' Whatever personnel Nash ends up with in the coming weeks must start winning matches. City have done that just twice in 22 games, taking until the last outing to retain a clean sheet. He faces a Shels side led by a familiar face. Joey O'Brien and Nash were both born in 1986 and were peers in representative squads emerging through the ranks. 'We fully understand that wins are the currency we need and so are desperate for three points on Friday,' he emphasised. 'To finish strongly against Drogheda United was important and we were the better side in the second half against St Patrick's Athletic. 'Shelbourne are champions for a reason. They're probably healthier squad-wise than when we played them four weeks ago at Turner's Cross. 'They have Europe on the horizon and lots to play for. It's wrong to say Europe is an extra layer of motivation but players don't too often get the opportunity. Players are aware that's around the corner. 'I'm well aware of the points we need but I believe being consistent in our performances, like we did without the ball in the last couple of games, is key to getting results and points.'
