Diogo Jota Kicks Against Incomplete Premier League

Portugal international player, Diogo Jota, has kicked against the decision of awarding Liverpool FC the winner position in the uncompleted league.

He said crowing Liverpool FC champion of the league will only lead to a problematic issue that may cause mayhem in the nearest future. He said other teams behind Liverpool could still do better and overcome other clubs. He made this known to BBC Sports that English League should not look at other leagues in other countries to make a decision.

“I agreed with the shutdown because health is the first priority before other necessity. We need, however, to return to the pitch with fans watching us play,” he said.

Some Nigerians football fans reacted to Jota’s opinion.

A fan of Liverpool FC, Oreoluwa Micheal, said Jota has not said well at all as he believed that the club that tops the table should be rated as a winner. He moved further to remind us of the fact that no one knows when the COVID-19 will be totally dealt with by the World Health Organisation (WHO). So, he said Liverpool should be crown as the winner of the 2019/2020 Premier League.

“The horse at the front race has won the first position. So, Liverpool has won the cup,” he said.

Oluwafunmilola Daniel said if one of Jota’s relatives has been affected with the coronavirus pandemic, he wouldn’t have been going against the decision.
“Doesn’t he know that giving the Liverpool the cup is a sign of respecting those that had past away through the coronavirus,” he said, “going back to continue the left behind matches is like not giving respects respect the COVID-19 dead victims.”
