Luis Diaz is one of Colombia's most beloved sports figures, acclaimed as a national team player, currently playing for Liverpool in the Premier League, one of the most competitive tournaments in the world. Diaz gave details of what he did with his first salary as a professional footballer to the Colombian media.

In case you didn't know, Diaz has indigenous roots. Lucho, as he is also known in the country, is under 30 years old and is a "guy who is aiming for the top, but who has had to overcome incredible obstacles to even become a professional footballer". The striker grew up on a small ranch in La Guajira, a coastal area of Colombia, with his family of indigenous Wayuu roots, very close to the Cerrejón coal mine, where, despite everything, money was scarce.
