Liverpool manager Arne Slot suggests there was no malicious intent behind a Crystal Palace fan interrupting a tribute to Diogo Jota and Andre Silva, as seen in a video.
A controversy arose during the Community Shield clash between Crystal Palace and Liverpool, as a minute of silence in honour of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva was disrupted. The nature of the disruption remains unclear, and no official investigation was conducted.
However, Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has weighed in on the matter, stating that there was no disrespect intended from anyone involved. Slot, who is the manager of Liverpool, believes that the disruption was likely the result of a fan who was unaware that the minute of silence was in progress.
Slot's opinion adds a new perspective to the controversy, as it contradicts the general sentiment that the disruption was disrespectful. The Liverpool manager emphasized that most Crystal Palace fans tried to calm those making noise during the minute of silence and that there was no bad intention behind the incident.
Although some disruptions may have been linked to difficulties getting into Wembley Stadium, reports indicate that the majority of Palace fans stood respectfully for the silence. The wider fanbase generally disavowed the disruption, with anger directed towards a small minority of fans believed to be responsible.
Despite the controversy, the disruption of the minute of silence during the Community Shield clash between Crystal Palace and Liverpool continues to be a topic of discussion. No disciplinary action against the Crystal Palace fan (or fans) was mentioned in the article.
