When Luis Díaz arrived in Liverpool, it was expected that it would be the sensation — if it wasn't already, playing for Porto — but it was also thought that it would take time: the English language, the competition on the front line of Los Reds, the demand of the Premier League... However, he showed that he has all the capabilities to adapt, so much so that he relegated the bench of alternates to regular incumbents such as Diogo Jota and Firmino, reasons why the sports press does not stop talking about him. The prestigious magazine Panenka, for example, dedicated a publishing house to it.
The specialized media outlet explained that with the 25-year-old guajiro the English club struck a blow of authority in terms of signings: he is a big team player — proof of this is his character and his talent every time he takes the freckle — which didn't cost a lot, without demeriting the 40 million euros he paid. In addition, he emphasized that he is proving to be a replacement for benchmarks in the offensive zone such as Egyptian Mohamed Salah, who is far from renegotiating his continuity in the team, and Senegalese Sadio Mané, who could also seek new airs.
Both the Brazilian Vinicius and the Italian Chiesa, like Lucho, have excelled in their teams, Real Madrid and Juventus, because without being the most important players, without so much press, they provide solutions to their managers whenever they are sent to the field of play, regardless of whether they are substitutes or starters.
“They always make differences in favor of the collective, they will never cut the first label they were hired for, which says that, knowing they are extraordinary, they set the bar for effort for everyone else, as if they were running with three better stars in need of their energy. Players without ego who even curse their falls for not standing up for the next attempt. Footballers who are a miracle,” Panenka added.
For the magazine, if Liverpool players take advantage of the Colombian's genius every time they play, as well as the courage that permeates them in every commitment, the club has what the English league lead will fight against Manchester City, the leader, who leads them by only three points in the standings.
The next match of those led by Jürgen Klopp, in which Lucho will have the opportunity to continue to shine, will be against Arsenal, on Wednesday 16 March.
