When Liverpool striker Diogo Jota and his younger brother Andre Silva suddenly passed away in a tragic car accident in the province of Zamora, Spain (at the age of 28 and 26), the football world fell into silence. A painful list compiled by the Italian media "The Whole Market" reveals a heartbreaking reality - this road to life torn by accident has long been soaked in the tears of many green prides. The shadow of the wheels has long been overwhelming the football world. On this land of Spain, Reyes, a wing elf who played for Sevilla, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in 2019, died on the spot due to a vehicle that broke out of control and caught fire. He was only 35 years old. His sudden death caused a huge wave in the football world, and it is difficult for people to accept such a talented player saying goodbye in such a cruel way.
Italian football has witnessed too many stars that should not be extinguished come to an abrupt end on the road: In 1967, the 24-year-old Turin hope star Gigi Meroni fell in a car accident; In 1989, Juventus defense legend Sirea suddenly passed away at the age of 36; In 2002, Chivo player Jason Mayere suddenly withered in his wonderful years at the age of 26; In 1997, the wheel of life of former Atlanta player Federico Pisani also ended; In 2001, the 17-year-old Bologna star Nicolo Galli withered forever before it bloomed.
The following table sorts out some of the players and former players who have died in a car accident for decades. They have belonged to different countries and played for different clubs, but share the ruthless end of their fate:

Every name on this list was once a symbol of living dreams and struggles.

In mourning, the football world is forced to face the impermanence of fate again and again - the stars that once shined with green sky disappeared so fragilely at a certain corner of the road.
Every harsh sound of the tire rubbing against the ground may become the rest of the symphony of life. The fierce confrontation on the football field teaches us to be tough, while the speeding wheels on the off-field remind in the cruelest way: the obsession with speed must be bounded by awe. These falling stars are not only the loss of the green field, but also a deep warning to the world by life itself - on the journey of pursuing dreams, a safe steering wheel is the real engine to the future.
