Liverpool fans applauded Luis Díaz after his Premier League debut | VIDEO

The arrival of the Colombian Luis Díaz to the ranks of Liverpool caused joy among the ‘Reds’ fans and everything was reflected this Thursday, in the match against Leicester. The South American attacker started and won the affection of the people with his performance, which is why he received applause from all the fans when he was replaced.

The 25-year-old athlete recently joined the squad headed by Jürgen Klopp, after his stay with his national team. Despite not having much training time with the English squad, the former Porto player had his first appearance in the FA Cup: he played the last 33 minutes in the victory over Cardiff (3-1).

Luis Díaz showed that he adapted well to Liverpool’s operation and received the confidence of the technical command to start for the first time in the Premier League (against Leicester, on date 24). The footballer shared offensive roles with Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota (Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané are not in physical condition after playing in the African Cup of Nations).

From the moment he stepped onto the pitch, the talented Colombian was mobile, contributed in the collective aspect and even dared to look for the goal, although goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel looked very solid. Finally, the ‘Reds’ prevailed 2-0, with a double by Jota (34′ and 87′).

Given the tranquility of the result, Jürgen Klopp decided to remove Luis Díaz from the field and the applause at Anfield began to feel in unison (89 ‘). The striker waved his thanks and withdrew, allowing Takumi Minamino to enter. Without a doubt, a positive start.
