In Liverpool's last pre-season match, played on Monday in Preston (England), the Colombian Luis Diaz was present on the scoreboard. The Colombian scored the final 3-1 with which the team coached by Jurgen Klopp beat Darmstadt of Germany. The goals came quickly in this friendly, as after 10 minutes the game was already 2-1. Mohamed Salah opened the scoring in the fifth minute and a few seconds later Diogo Jota, with an assist from the Egyptian, stretched the lead.

 

Through Mathias Honsake, Darmstadt pulled one back in what was to be the only shot on target for the German club in the first half. Liverpool were dominating the game, not only in terms of possession but also in the sheer number of dangerous moves they had generated. In the 51st minute Dominik Szoboszlai took a corner kick to the near post and there was Luis Díaz ready to anticipate and back-heel the ball to the surprise of the opposing defenders. Third goal of the Guajiro with the Reds in pre-season. He previously scored against Greuther Furth and Bayern Munich.

 

The coming season will also be a new opportunity for Díaz to establish himself in Jürgen Klopp's team, as at the end of 2022, despite a great individual performance at the start of the season, he was sidelined for six months due to a knee injury. For Lucho and his teammates, the season will officially kick off on 13 August, when they visit Chelsea at Stamford Bridge for the first matchday of the Premier League, considered by many as the best league in the world.

Jota would not be a starter

After the match, several reports suggest that Jürgen Klopp will make a major change to his line-up for Sunday's clash with Chelsea and that would be Portuguese Digo Jota who would be out of the game in favour of a midfielder who could be Curtis Jones.
