The accidental death of Liverpool striker Jota still makes people feel very sad and regretful. Brighton midfielder Milner, who played with Jota at Liverpool for many years, said that he had spent many wonderful and happy times with Jota, and praised the star as a well-loved teammate.

Jota from Portugal died in a car accident earlier at the age of 28. His 26-year-old brother Andre Silva, who was in the same car with Jota, also died in the accident.

During his many years at Liverpool, Jota played in 182 games and contributed 65 goals. He also won a Premier League title, an FA Cup title and an English League Cup title with the "Red Army".

Although Jota only played 26 games in the 2024/25 Premier League due to injury, the striker still contributed 6 goals and 3 assists to Sloter's team and was one of the important players in Liverpool's Premier League title.

Recalling Jota, Milner said, "It was a shock when I first heard the news. At that time, I just hoped that all this was not true. Then my mind began to emerge from the moments we experienced together and the time we spent together. As a player, he is really outstanding, including his ability in critical moments, he is very smart, and the way he uses physical confrontation."

"I usually sit with Webster on the bus to away games and I often tell him that he has no idea how good Jota is and how much I love watching him play, and Webster will say, I just told him that last week. I love watching Jota play every week and I enjoy training with him."

Milner said, "He is a great person more than a player. He is the kind of person who can sit in any corner of the locker room and be loved by everyone. I have too many happy memories with him, and we often joke with each other. He is a very stubborn person, just like me, and we have spent a lot of happy times together."

Milner also shared, "He was a family man, someone who loved to be around, and he will be missed by everyone. He was not only an amazing player, but also a great person and someone who made people like him from the bottom of their hearts."
