On Tuesday, April 19, Colombian Luis Diaz scored and assisted in the Premier League classic between Liverpool and Manchester United. The squad led by German Jürgen Klopp won the victory after leaving the score at 4-0. Once again, Diaz was the target of praise after his great performance this duel. Now, this Sunday, the 'Reds' will face Everton in Anfield, at 10:20 a.m. Colombian time.

In the match against Manchester United Diaz was not the only one who was praised, as also the forwards Salah and Mané received good comments. Similarly, midfielder Thiago Alcántara recognized for his good foot in the different English media, which highlighted the work between him and the Colombian.

According to the Daily Mail newspaper, the player from Bayern Munich is a key player in general for the team, but also for the adaptation of Díaz, since he has been one of the players who has contributed the most to ensure that it fits in the best way. In addition, they both speak Spanish, which has facilitated the understanding of Colombian in terms of language issues.

He added: “Thiago knows very well the difficulties of moving to England. He made his £20 million change during the middle of the pandemic and was denied the opportunity to mix right from the start.”

In fact, a few days ago, in an interview for Liverpool Echo, Diaz told about how Henderson has been one of those who has been closest to him in terms of adaptation to the team and the city. “In the short period of time that I was able to share with him, Hendo has been great,” he began by saying number 23 of the 'reds'.

“The language barrier has made things a little difficult for us to communicate, but since the first day I arrived he has tried to let me know that, if I needed anything, I would just talk to him. He told me that I should relax because I was in a big club with great teammates and that I was going to be fine. You can easily see that he is a great captain and a true role model, you can learn a lot from him,” he added.

On the other hand, in the heads-up for the Premier League title, Manchester City passed all the pressure on Liverpool after thrashing Watford (19th) 5-1, with four goals from Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus, this Saturday.

The FA Cup final, which will be played on May 14, will be a reissue of this season's other 'copera' final in England, which the same two teams played at the end of February in the England Cup. The match ended with a 0-0 draw and Liverpool took the title in the penalty shootout (11-10). Keep in mind that Chelsea will aspire to their ninth title in the FA Cup, having won the last one in 2018, while Liverpool will be looking for the eighth and not lifting that trophy since 2006.
