Go out onto the field with your dear friends.

Progressing day by day to reach major career milestones was the dream and goal of Rute Cardoso's late wife, the mother of three children.

Her husband, Liverpool midfielder Diogo Jota, died suddenly last year at the age of 28 in a car accident. A year after the tragedy, love and longing still linger in the young wife's heart.

Cardoso vividly remembers Jota's dribbling on the field, his habits when he returned home to his wife and children, and even the career aspirations that her talented partner confided in her during family meals. Of all these, the most sacred and moving for her was her husband's burning and restless dream: to be part of the national team competing in the World Cup Finals.

That dream, the Portuguese player Jota always cherished and often shared with his close friend and fellow Liverpool midfielder Andy Robertson - captain of the Scotland national team. Although they played for two different national teams, they both made a pact to work together to help their respective countries qualify for the biggest sporting event on the planet.

Thank you for transforming the pain of loss into spiritual strength and so many beautiful things!"

Happy with the close bond between the two cherished teammates, Cardoso believes her husband will be by his friend's side every step of the way at the World Cup.

In this final tournament, I'm not playing for myself, but for both of us!”
