Luis Diaz has quickly become one of the best signings in Bayern Munich’s recent history: having arrived in the summer as a fallback after the failure of negotiations for Florian Wirtz, the Colombian striker has proved to be a vital reinforcement for Kompany’s team. The numbers are striking: the’former Liverpool man has scored 19 goals and dished out 15 assists in 32 games in all competitions, and is one of the team&#8217s mainstays along with teammates Harry Kane and Michael Olise.

“There must have been reasons why Florian Wirtz couldn’t come here in the end – Luis Diaz said in an interview with Sky -Now I’m here, and I thank God that it turned out this way. I am very happy and grateful. When FC Bayern contacted me, I knew from the first moment that I wanted to make this transfer. It filled me with pride because I had known the club for a long time and I knew what to expect”.

The move from Liverpool was not traumatic, on the contrary: “I knew I would be joining an incredibly great group of players and a club with excellent infrastructure and a fantastic training ground. I had no doubts”.

Luis Diaz was particularly impressed by Harry Kane: “I saw him play in England because we played against Tottenham several times. But it&#8217s one thing to see him as an opponent, it&#8217s another to share the locker room with him and to be on the training field with him every day… To see how he moves, how he asks for the ball, how he works for the team, how he scores: he”s a machine”.

In general, the whole Bayern attack is a goal machine: “I am very proud to play on a team with Harry and Michael Olise. Michael destroys you in the one-on-one, he is so technically gifted and makes all the difference. He is a quiet guy but on the field he is very communicative. He pays a lot of attention to detail and urges everyone to defend when the team is in trouble”.

Bayern Munich paid Diaz 70 million euros-a figure that has paid off well so far. “I have never felt pressure, it has always been about the team. I wanted to proceed one step at a time, first to get to know the team and then simply do my job. I played some good games and I must say, after a few months, I feel even more comfortable”.
