Andy Robertson shares that Diogo Jota’s widow, Rute Cardoso, has written him an emotional letter ahead of Scotland’s World Cup appearance after qualifying for the first time in almost 30 years. The outlets report that Cardoso urges Robertson, who is Scotland captain, to “cherish” the World Cup and to “live it” in a way that also honours Jota’s memory. Multiple sources say she specifically asks Robertson to carry Jota “in your heart” and includes the message that “Diogo will be with you,” reflecting the close friendship between the two men. Robertson and Jota were teammates and close friends at Liverpool, where they both discussed shared ambitions including a World Cup dream. After Jota died in a car accident in July at the age of 28, Robertson has said Jota remains part of his thoughts as Scotland return to the tournament. The reports add that Robertson reads from Cardoso’s letter as part of a feature on FIFA’s social media channels.
