Concise and clear, those were the words of Luis Díaz leaving a message for all of Colombia to support him in the Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid. Díaz, who shone with Porto, and has been in European football for several years, is characterized by following in the footsteps of Radamel Falcao García.
Falcao stood out from very early on in football, and his talent led him to leave his Santa Marta del alma, but without ever forgetting his family, his Colombian people, and his serenity and tranquility in always speaking with that humility that makes him stand out . This is the peasant Luis Díaz, who had the dream of being a footballer from a very young age, shone in the Wayú National Team, jumped to Barranquilla FC, Junior de Barranquilla bet on him, and then FC Porto took him directly to land years later in the giant of England: Liverpool.
Without a doubt, any player with this career would have an ego in the clouds, however, quiet and very calm, Luis Díaz has earned praise from the entire world of football, as well as the hearts of Liverpool, teammates, coaching staff, fans and referent former players, not only from Colombia, but connoisseurs of the Premier League.
In such a short time he has managed to change the perspectives of players like Dimitar Berbatov who at first did not see him as a great signing, and now he surrenders at his feet. In turn, ‘Lucho’s’ season has been exceptional, winning two titles, close to winning the Premier League, and wanting to be the hero at the Stade de France against Real Madrid.
With great humility, Luis Díaz appeared answering questions from the British medium, Liverpool Echo. For said newspaper, the peasant sent a great message to his entire country, always remembering where he comes from. Colombia, without a doubt, is expectant of what the peasant who cries out for him can do as a starter alongside monsters like Sadio Mané and Mohammed Salah, configuring one of the most fearsome forwards in the world.
For the Liverpool Echo, Luis Díaz burst into emotion and left his country on high. All of Colombia is excited about ‘Lucho’, and even more so after reading those tremendous statements, concise, but which move anyone, ‘I know that I have your support (from Colombia) 100%, I will try to represent you in the best way and go out the victory’.
In addition, he added who is his favorite Real Madrid player and that Liverpool must be alert. However, he didn’t stick with just one, he mentioned three, ‘I don’t know, it’s not easy to choose one, but I think Karim Benzema, Vinicius and I must confess that I really like Toni Kroos’. Without a doubt, Colombia will be paralyzed this Saturday May 28 with the uncertainty of a vibrant game.
