Klopp's backing for Luis Diaz at Liverpool

Luis Diaz joined Liverpool in January for half of the 2021-2022 season, but has consistently been regarded as one of the important pillars in German manager Jurgen Klopp's scheme. In an interview with ESPN, Diaz spoke about his time in England, the Colombia national team and his aspirations for this new football year.

Liverpool spent difficult hours at the beginning of the Premier League, but now they have achieved their first victory, in a masterful way with a 9-0 win over Bournemouth at Anfield, where the Colombian managed to score a double, the first to open the door for the goal in the third minute and the last of the night at 85 to close the 9 for the history of the Premier League.

On the selection of Colombia, Diaz said it was a pity that they could not be in the World Cup, but already sees himself qualifying for the next hand of the coaching staff that is, of each teammate: "We will always try to give the best of us as we have always done, try to be united to start in a good way the friendlies that we will have to get to know each other to put together a great selection," he said.

Klopp's backing

Diaz told ESPN that Jurgen has been incredible to him since the first day he arrived, he gave him a hug and received him in the same way as any Liverpool player. "I immediately felt a feeling. It was important for me, I felt the backing of him from the first day, in the work every day I realise that he is a coach who has good things for each of us," he said.

According to El Guajiro, what Klopp insists on most is that I should play as I have done in previous clubs, that I have already shown him many things, that I should always give my best, that Liverpool's DNA has always been attitude, to always fight every game to the maximum. "Tactically I've also learnt a bit more. Here I've always tried to go out on the pitch to enjoy myself and play in the same way and to continue like that," he added.
