Rúben Neves reveals that he didn't have the chance to tell his friend Diogo Jota how much he valued their friendship
Rúben Neves expressed regret for not being able to tell his friend Diogo Jota how much he valued their friendship before his tragic death.
Al-Hilal midfielder Rúben Neves revealed in an interview that he regrets not being able to tell his friend Diogo Jota how important their friendship was. "Is there anything left unsaid?" – reflected Neves. "We both knew how close we were, but neither he nor I liked to talk openly about our feelings. Maybe he never told me how much he valued me, and I didn't tell him that either. I probably regret that a little. But he knows.
"What would Rúben now say to Rúben who cried over his friend's death in the United States?" – asked the presenter. Neves replied: "Diogo will never disappear from my life and my thoughts. He will always be by my side, and every achievement I have I will dedicate to both of us."
When asked what his last words to Jota would be, Rúben Neves said: "I would say he was one of the most special people I knew." The tragedy that involved Diogo Jota and his brother, André Silva, occurred on July 3 last year, when they died in a car accident, after the vehicle left the road due to a tire bursting during overtaking.
