The Colombian Luis Díaz did not take long to show his quality at Liverpool, since his long-awaited debut was justified with a brilliant assist for the Japanese Takumi Minamino, thus sentencing a close game against Cardiff City in the Fourth Round of the FA Cup.
In the 57th minute of the match, Díaz became the first Colombian player to dress as ‘Red’, shortly after joining the squad led by Jurgen Klopp. In a play in which he, thanks to his pressure, ended up recovering the ball, he made luxury of his footwork and with a pass in the area he enabled Minamino so that this will score 2-0.
Jurgen Klopp’s smile was inevitable, after he argued in the pre-game that the coffee grower is a player that he had been following closely and has high expectations about his contribution to the future.
With this result the Liverpool will face Norwich City in the Fifth Round of the oldest tournament in the world. Next Thursday, Díaz could also make his Premier League debut, when his new team hosts Leicester City on Matchday 24 of the English first division championship.
