Liverpool fans not alone in their enthusiasm for Luis Díaz

It is clear to the Colombian national team. And the football world even more so. One of the big absentees at Qatar 2022 will be Luis Díaz. The guajiro, the sensation of this pale Liverpool 2022-23, will not be present at the World Cup, and despite the fact that such an emotional slump is not easy to overcome overnight, Néstor Lorenzo is already preparing a plan to get the most out of this talented and undisputed footballer who is on everyone's lips.

Although he has his eyebrows crossed, Lorenzo recognises that 'Lucho' needs to be given a lot more support. He is, after all, the diamond that everyone would like to have in their shop window, and while the Tricolor are happy to expose him, his spectacular final stretch of last season did little or nothing to revive a team lacking in goals.

But there is no point crying over spilt milk. And Nestor Lorenzo knows that all too well. Against this backdrop, the Argentine tactician, once delivered the names of those called for the games against Guatemala and Mexico, referred to this strategy to use with the '23' of Liverpool to sow panic in every exit of the Yellow.

"(Luis) Diaz is coming through the middle and converting from the edge of the box. He's a versatile player. We're going to try to surround him and help him so that the team's performance is the best," said Lorenzo. And yes, there is no other way. Lucho' is the standard-bearer of this team that already has the 2026 World Cup on its radar, an event that it is forbidden not to attend, especially with a crop of players who continue to break every weekend.

He is a star at Anfield and also with the Colombian national team

This shows that not only Liverpool fans are enthusiastic about Luis Diaz, but also his country, Colombia. The striker who arrived in January from Porto has adapted very quickly to the Premier League and is the goal hope of the Reds, but also of his National Team thinking about the 2026 World Cup to which he is expected to arrive as one of the greatest figures of football on the planet.
