Wolves Chairman: Regrets to sell Jota to Liverpool, he had too many injuries at the time

Wolves chairman Jeff Shi accepted an interview with the media and expressed his regret selling Jota to Liverpool that year.

Shi Yu said: "I don't think we should have sold Jota. At that time, I talked to Nuno Santo (the then coach) and I said we might sell a player, maybe Jota, or Traore."

"Then Nuno chose to keep Traore, who he thought was very important in his tactical system, so we sold Jota."

"Of course, he had a little too many injuries at that time. He was injured for two months, and then two months later he was injured again. He didn't perform very well in the last three or four months of his playing field."

"But he performed very well after going to Liverpool, and I was happy for him. He was a smart boy and a good person. If history could be changed, I wouldn't sell him."
