"Nothing compares to what Rute, his children and his parents are experiencing at this moment.

"The only thing I can say is the way the players have conducted themselves during this difficult time, the way our fans have shown respect for Diogo and his brother, has been incredible."

Slot only worked with Jota for a season, but is able to speak about him as a player and a person in a way that captures perfectly why he was so loved and admired.

"He was always himself, players liked him because of that," Slot says.

Cody Gakpo paid tribute to his friend and team-mate Diogo Jota.

"When we won the league against Tottenham, we were all together, I remember his young children were there, and one of his sons kept wanting to go to the dance floor and every time Diogo joined him - that tells you about the father he was."

After initially just feeling sadness and loss, Slot says he is now able to feel some happiness when he sees a Jota goal or thinks about the way he lifted Liverpool's dressing room.

It's clear though that that getting back to the seemingly unimportant, trivial, day to day world of football has been and will continue to be incredibly tough.

"The first time we arrive for a session, the first time we play a game, the first time after 20 minutes they sing his song - all these things are difficult," he says.

Moments of silence planned by Premier League

A moment's silence will be observed at all top-flight matches this weekend in memory of Jota and his brother Andre Silva, the Premier League has confirmed.

The league has spoken to Liverpool about the most appropriate way to remember the Portuguese star, who was killed in a car crash alongside his brother on July 3 in Spain.

As well as a period of silence prior to kick-off in the matches, players of all clubs will be given black armbands while messaging and imagery will be shared with clubs for them to use on big screens.

Tributes were paid to the brothers prior to last Sunday's Community Shield between Liverpool and Crystal Palace at Wembley, with wreaths laid on the pitch and a period of silence before kick-off.
