Liverpool -captain Virgil van Dijk expressed his disappointment after some of the supporters of Crystal Palace were the minute silence for Diogo Jota and Andre Silva interrupted before Sunday's community shield in Wembley.
The match-between Prime Minister League champions Liverpool and FA Cup winners Palace-ended with 2-2 in normal time before the Eagles 3-2 triumphed 3-2 to lift the trophy for the first time in their history.
Dean Henderson saved from Alexis Mac Allister and Harvey Elliott, Mohamed Salah transferred and Justin Devenny hit the decisive kick.
But it was what happened before the kick-off both sets fans were asked to remain silent as a characteristic of ex-liverpool striker Jota and his younger brother or sister, who both died last month in a car accident Dijk most disappointed.
“Yes, I am disappointed, Van Dijk said. “That is the only thing I can say. I don't know who did it, but there was enough to kill it, so that clearly doesn't help.
“But it's what it is. You can't determine how many fans were here? Were it 80,000 people? So it is disappointing to hear that, but if that person or people can go home and be happy with themselves, then … '
Asked for the incident that led to referee Chris Kavanagh had to blow the whistle early and demolished the tribute, said Liverpool -Baas Arne Slot that he did not believe there was a “bad intention” of the palace fans.
“I am a positive person. If I look at the respect that both of them are paid everywhere all over the world, then this is what I have in mind, “he said.
“I don't think this was planned. Maybe they didn't know it was a minute of silence. Then the fans of Palace tried to calm those person or those people.
'So I don't think there is a bad intention because the fans of Crystal Palace and fans around the world have paid enormous respect to Diogo and Andre. We will see on Friday when Bournemouth comes to Anfield how respectful that will be.
“It's also five weeks ago. That is why this fan might just be so happy that they (palace) are here in the community shield that he forgot in that second. '
Palace was twice from behind in a normal time for Henderson's heroism in the shoot-out. Salah missed the place, while Henderson Mac Allister and Elliott denied, allowing Devenny to convert the winning penalty and want to party among the South Londers.
Palace boss Oliver Glasner admitted that he would not exchange their success for a victory in the courtroom on Monday, when the Eagles is expected to find out whether they will be recovered in the Europa League, insisting that winning silverware at Wembley will always live with the fans.
Palace was relegated from the Europa League to the Conference League after he was found that he has violated the rules with several club ownership of UEFA. They appealed and a decision is expected on Monday by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
“No, we will accept the outcome,” said Glasner. 'In this performance the players showed and proven in an excellent way that they did not think about what is happening.
'We have no influence, so we will celebrate and then meet for lunch and training afterwards. Then we plan the rest of August – if we stay in the Conference League, we have more matches to play. '
Palace, who had not won a big trophy in their history until this year, has now won two in three months after beating Manchester City to win the FA Cup in May.
“We showed the players a video before we went to Wembley about the happiness of the fans who won the FA Cup,” Glasner revealed.
“This is the emotional reward. You can't buy it for all the money in the world and our fans deserved it. They always support us and push the team ahead and it is a great connection. We were all rewarded and this remains forever. '
