“Diogo Jota was the player we were most afraid of”

Diogo Jota is Liverpool's new phenomenon. The Portuguese, briefly passing through Atlético de Madrid years ago, shone during his time at Wolverhampton and is not disappointing the English champion. Jota is breaking in with good games and many goals, although he theoretically starts behind the members of the trident network, Salah, Mané and Roberto Firmino.

At 23 years old, Diogo Jota has made the final leap to the elite and in this, he moves like a fish in water. There were few who doubted his talent for which if Wolves bet and it turned out well on a football and economic level (he spent 14 and raised 44.7 million euros).

With the Molineux team he grew in view of all. From teammates and rivals such as Troy Deeney, a Watford forward, who praised their level in their confrontations between the two teams in the Premier League. “Diogo Jota was the player we were afraid of when we faced Wolverhampton. Jiménez is very good, Traoré is very fast but Jota … He is fast, has excellent technique and manages to score goals. It was scary, “says the tip in Talksport.

The Watford striker believes the choice to go to Liverpool could not have been more successful. “He is 23 years old and he is going to keep improving. He has already reached a great level and is going to grow much more. Playing for Liverpool every week and getting used to winning will do him a lot of good at the mentality level and will make him a much better player, “he said on the British station.

So far this season, Diogo Jota has proven to be more than ready for Liverpool's challenge and has scored eight goals in his first 12 games as a net. The Portuguese has given a good level in the Premier but he is crowning himself in the Champions League where he already scored against Midtjylland and scored a hat-trick against Atalanta. La Dea returns to Anfield this Wednesday (9pm) and, like Troy Deeney, it is sure to be afraid of Jota.
