Luis Diaz talks about his painful childhood in one of the poorest regions of Colombia – Revealing his journey to becoming a Liverpool star

A player for Liverpool called Luis Diaz says that he sees every game as a chance to get back at people who have made his career hard.

There is a good chance that the 25-year-old, who moved to Liverpool from Porto in January for £37.5 million, will start in the Champions League final later this month. He has already made such an impression.

It’s a big change from his humble roots in La Guajira, which is one of the worst-off areas of Colombia. In 2019, the official death rate from malnutrition for indigenous Wayuu children under five was almost six times the national rate. Diaz is a member of this group.As a hungry child, one of his favorite things to do was watch the coal-carrying trains go by his small town of Barrancas. A lot of the coal was going to Europe.

Those years ago, he had no idea that he would go to the same region and become the most famous football player in the world.

Jesus, Diaz’s younger brother, watched from the stands as Liverpool beat Villarreal 3-2 in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final on Tuesday night. Diaz was in tears at the end of the game because he had come off the bench at halftime and played the best game of the game, giving Liverpool a 5-2 aggregate win.The player told UEFA’s YouTube account, “From La Guajira,” when asked where he got his confidence. It comes from where I come from. In my home town, I’ve always played sports.

“Every game is my way of getting back at you for always wanting more. I know what it costs, so I have to make the most of every moment I have.”

“What’s to come is very important for the rest.”

Diaz has played in 64 professional football games for his country and clubs in 2021-22, more than any other player in the world. He could play in six more games as Liverpool tries to win an unusual quadruple.”What has already happened is erased when we get to one of these spots, like a final,” he said.

“We know what a quiz is.” You forget how tired you are when you’re in a final and play, run, and fight.

Before he moved to Portugal in 2019, the South American had been on the club’s eye for a while.

Once Tottenham made a move in January, after Everton’s failed offer of a James Rodriguez swap plus cash in the summer, the Reds acted quickly. Within 48 hours, they had the medical in South America and signed the player.He has done a great job of fitting in with a team that was already performing and achieving a lot. This was helped by the fact that he came in with confidence and the backing of Liverpool’s coaching staff.

“Of course I’m happy and glad about what’s going on.” They said, “I’m going to play in a Champions League final, it’s like I always dreamed.” He said this after coming on in the second half and helping to change the course of the game in Spain.

“I helped the team, that was the most important thing.”

“Everyone did well in the second half. The players who came on also helped and supported us to get the win.”

“That was very important, so I’m pleased with your progress.”
