Liverpool manager Arne Slot addressed the premature interruption of a minute's silence for late forward Diogo Jota before the Community Shield match. Jota and his brother tragically passed away in a car accident. The silence at Wembley was cut short due to noise from a fan, which Slot believed to be an unintentional misunderstanding. Liverpool has retired Jota's number 20 shirt, and the club is deeply mourning his loss, as his death has impacted the team significantly in the new season.
I don't think this was planned. Maybe the fan was not aware of the minute's silence and was happy and tried to cheer for his team, then the Palace fans tried to calm him down. I don't think they had a bad intention.
Liverpool's difficult summer after Diogo Jota death has clearly hit everyone involved with the club very hard. Jota was a key part of the Liverpool first-team and a popular member of the squad.
