Liverpool fans, their striker and former coach Kenny Dalalish, Dugo Gota and his brother Andre Silva before a friendly match in preparation for the new season against Milan in Hong Kong, on Saturday.
Before the match began, the fans raised short banners that formed the phrase “DJ 20”, and Dalalish put a wreath of flowers to commemorate former Liverpool striker Gota, who died with his brother in a car accident in Spain this month.
Liverpool players put the phrase “Dugo G20” on their shirts with black badges on their arms.
Rafael Liao, Milan’s wing, praised his colleague in the Portuguese national team with a sign of “2” and “zero” with his fingers after scoring an early goal in the Italian team’s victory 4-2 today.
Liverpool fans Zoy Lyong and her family made a sign of the memory of Gotta.
“I think Gotta’s death is sad, and I was really shocked when I saw the news,” said Zoe Leong (24 years old). I made this with my family to show respect for Jota. ”
Liverpool players will wear the slogan “20 forever” on their shirts during the next season of the Premier League. Fans can obtain the slogan “Dugo G20” printed on shirts in club stores, and revenues will go to the official “Liverpool” charity.
