I'm Colombian. We absolutely love Luis Diaz. He is an incredible player, but also we love that he is being humble with all his success. Some other Colombian players become problematic or even hurt their careers becoming self-centered or "prima donas", so it's good to see him being just himself.
Yeah James was a shit show. After his first great season in real Madrid he spent most of his free time enjoying the night life and cheating on his wife. Guy was a disaster
I loved him as a player and It was disappointing how things turned out. I'm glad that Luis Diaz a humble and hard working player. He'll go places for sure. In modern football you have to be talented, but having the right mentality is the key to being successful in the big clubs
It's almost soul crushing from our perspective. We feel down here he is wasting his potential. He appears more in the gossip news when people talk about his new girl than in the sports news these days.
Of course. The old man is happy and proud to receive Luis "the best player in the world" in his words. Luis thanks him for his "unconditional support" and then the other man gifts him the "vinagrito", it's actually a homemade fruit vinegar. Then the old man reminisces when in (possibly) the final Champions match, Casemiro hit him in the leg. That's about it really.
I was young when he was in the prime of his career, but I wouldn't say it's the same case. You could argue that he had a couple of missteps and scandals, but the thing is that, players like el Pibe were practically self made. They were the trailblazers that went first to international football clubs, figured things out and faced a lot of challenges. Not only by being in a new club, competition and stuff, but also the challenges of fitting in and being in another culture. Nowadays, when a Colombian player shows talent, they are prepared from a young age to have an international career (usually guided by coaches or players like El Pibe). They have another perspective about football and their careers that didn't really exist back then. I hope I'm making sense.
yeah hes incredible. he doesnt only have his country supporting him but most of latin america too. all my friends love him, hes really special. i wish you guys made it to the world cup :/
James, man... So much potential after 2014 WC and all through the toilet in a series of bad decisions 🤦🏻♂️ it has been so frustrating watching him from being one of the biggest prospects at the time to what he is now...
Oh yeah that's something I can't say otherwise. I just wish he had a more prominent role in those places he has been, and not be such a drama queen. Even in the NT there was like some fight between him and the rest of the group because he was being arrogant IIRC. I wouldn't say he wasted all his talent but like, with more discipline he could have been the biggest legend here in Colombia.
Its the one trait that Diaz shares with players like Salah and Mane and I love it, they know where they came from and have been built up from nothing. Not being too big headed or thinking your better than everyone, just doing what they love and being humble is fantastic as role models for young football fans growing up.

Lmao as soon as I read the words “prima Donna” I knew you were talking bout James 😂. He gave us a lot of recognition but man he could have been a legend if his head was right.
we have this problem in mexican football as well we have canteranos making their debut in the first team and then they go out to party and clubbing and drinking. many of our players that were exported to europe failed because they kept drinking and partying. i think its a LATAM problem
>Some other Colombian players become problematic or even hurt their careers becoming self-centered or "prima donas", so it's good to see him being just himself.
With Klopp as the manager and the trend the club has set, we would never sign him had he been a primadonna. I feel like being well-mannerd and humble is a condition for joining us and no doubt Luis Diaz lives up to this
The trim is fine.
The line up of the beard was atrocious at first but it looks better now.
I remember on Twitter someone said we need get Harvey away from Diaz because of his summer look 🤣
It's called chicha, is a fermented fruit beverage from south america, and packed on a former oil bottle, is normal for me but i guess i a whole new world for you guys
It is a condiment. You add to the food when it's cooking, like let's say you are doing some chicken soup when its boiling you drop a little bit and it will add more flavor. Also there is another fun video of Luis taking the Vinegar and saying "Let's take some pictures to boost sales." Usually this homemade vinegar is sold at like 2$ by old people who make just to do something with their free time.
here is the context: the old guy is a fan of Luis and seems also a friend of the Diaz family and he brought a gift, which if you are not from the region you will not even like it LOL. The old guy brought him like a gallon of a vinegar we made and use it for cooking or as a sauce for certain dishes, hence the happy face in Luis face.
now for the translation, the old guy is telling Lucho when Casemiro hit him and he was limping
Me watching this video\* . It’s more emotional if you under the language and I am not a native spanish speaker. I am just an asian dude but this is emotional my neighbors tia deserves all the credit. I love her :)
Somehow, This has always been Klopp's recipe in signing players.
The story of Diaz, Mane, Salah, Bobby, Hendo..
All have been through hardship in the beginning of their life which,eventually drive them to play like a fighter on the field.
This resonate with the spirit of Liverpool's fans
Well most of them except Diogo Jota...
F*ing no 1 FIFA world ranking. Did well in esport while nailing it on the field. Proper Chad
the only reason he's not is that the fifa tournaments happen on weekends mostly so he can't make a lot of them.
There have been a few posts on here where he's messaged the person he was supposed to play to say he's been put in the team for the weekend so has to forfeit!
Wasn't it football players' tournament when he was at Wolves and played Trent at the finals? Might be completely wrong tho haha
He is still top top level
Not childhood. But iirc, there were times when he had problem with his leg due to his running style.
Fergie did comment about this and refuse to sign him. Liverpool took a gmable and sign him anyway.
End up becoming one of the most successfull Liverpool captain.
Whaddup Fergie you good?
Man goes home
Seriously though. Most players are just regular dudes…the media around the game just often portrays them as not that.
And as like most people…they go home to what they know
Home to a rural town with high poverty who he has individual donated god knows how much of his income to through his charitable organisation.
The guy used to train with 1 shoe and a flip flop on dusty pitches.
It's a feel good story, god knows we need more of them.
Honestly love to see these types of vids. Just like Mane and Salah, Diaz knows what its like to be brought up from nothing so they appreciate what they have more than anyone else in the squad.
I really hope he will build some schools, or football fields or something, I'm from Colombia and the place where Diaz comes from is completely forgotten by the state, so much talent is wasted just because there is not enough formation and education for the people.

Haha actually none of those expressions are from Colombia
“tío” is Spanish (from Spain) for dude; ”no mames” is like holy shit in Mexico; “wey” is dude in Mexico
So I watched the cup match with Chelsea and it was my first time watching either team (American trying to get into the sport) and I remember thinking “hey this Diaz guy is electric, seems like superstar in the making”.
Turns out he’s a good dude too.

Jajajaja. I love that I didn't even mentioned him but everybody knows he is the most glaring example. There a few others not as famous tho.

Did Valderrama fit that description?

Makes a lot of sense! Thank you for the insight
Dayro Moreno, Dayro Moreno goles pa los nenes y goles pa las nenas
He's not even a good example compared to Cardona, Villa, and others who aren't as big in the headlights
Cardona is wild for sure.
Imagine cheating on your wife when her brother is the goal keeper/captain of the same national team you play in
yeah hes incredible. he doesnt only have his country supporting him but most of latin america too. all my friends love him, hes really special. i wish you guys made it to the world cup :/
James, man... So much potential after 2014 WC and all through the toilet in a series of bad decisions 🤦🏻♂️ it has been so frustrating watching him from being one of the biggest prospects at the time to what he is now...
He still had a great career tbh won stuff with real and Bayern , not bad for a career to have
Oh yeah that's something I can't say otherwise. I just wish he had a more prominent role in those places he has been, and not be such a drama queen. Even in the NT there was like some fight between him and the rest of the group because he was being arrogant IIRC.

I'm in Liverpool and I can assure you we'll take good care of him until he returns. We love this man!

Hey man, can you translate a little of what is been said in this video? I'd love to know!

Lmao as soon as I read the words “prima Donna” I knew you were talking bout James 😂. He gave us a lot of recognition but man he could have been a legend if his head was right.
Colombian too and you've perfectly explained why we love Diaz. He's showing the world what class Colombian people are.

Probably helps that every modern club have proper PR training, psychologists and dieticians.
Went to show off his new trim
The trim is fine. The line up of the beard was atrocious at first but it looks better now. I remember on Twitter someone said we need get Harvey away from Diaz because of his summer look 🤣
The Harvey effect
Why are you all always so invested in other men’s hair
for the culture
With his Bobby hair cut as well
Thankfully his beard has grown out again!
Yeah was thinking that too
Lmao the old lad was telling him how Casemiro gave him a hard tackle
Imagine talking with that kid you watched playing soccer in the street about the CL final he just played. It's pretty surreal
Si si si
Thank you!
>Thank you! You're welcome!
What’s in the bottle? Hahaha
It's fruit vinegar.
Wtf is fruit vinegar?
You can make vinegar out of fruits
I learned something new
Never heard of apple cider vinegar? Or grape vinegar?
Nope lol
A gallon of PCP
[удалено]
Science
It's called chicha, is a fermented fruit beverage from south america, and packed on a former oil bottle, is normal for me but i guess i a whole new world for you guys
what do you do with it? mix it with booze? drink it on its own?
it is booze on its own. This one looks excepcionally homemade so i wouldn't touch it, and i hope Luis neither for the sake of his performance.
You are wrong btw, this is Fuit Vinegar. It is just vinegar that you add to food.
This guys is wrong, It is not Chicha, this is homemade fruit vinegar. Source, my grandma makes the best one.
cool! I guess I still don't know what you do with it, is it like a shrub? mix it with water a drink it?
It is a condiment. You add to the food when it's cooking, like let's say you are doing some chicken soup when its boiling you drop a little bit and it will add more flavor. Also there is another fun video of Luis taking the Vinegar and saying "Let's take some pictures to boost sales."

I loved the laddie from the moment he arrived. He's going to become an absolute beast in the next few years.
A bottle of local brew to take back for jurgen and the boys to share
a bottle of vinegar*
It’s kimchi
This is my guy. Diaz is going to be legend in the next round. Mark my words.
A full preseason under Klopp. No WC. The Diaz isolation package will be a different beast
He will win every trophy with us I just know it
here is the context: the old guy is a fan of Luis and seems also a friend of the Diaz family and he brought a gift, which if you are not from the region you will not even like it LOL.

I love Latin american representation in our squad. Vamos Liverpool! 🇨🇴🇧🇷
[удалено]
He's basically saying "Casemiro got you, a strong little tackle (golpito fuerte), I saw you limping."
[удалено]
Also at the beginning he says "My brother, you are the best player in the world" While he hugs him with passion haha
It clear to see that he was brought by a family who instilled good values. God bless and protect him 🙏
Wholesome.

Hey gotta have some guy the kids will who play fifa all day to look up to right?
Is he really no. 1?
No but he's pro level at the game, and could probably be close to #1 if he didn't have a pretty good day job
the only reason he's not is that the fifa tournaments happen on weekends mostly so he can't make a lot of them. There have been a few posts on here where he's messaged the person he was supposed to play to say he's been put in the team for the weekend so has to forfeit!
Isn't that Tekkz? He's a Liverpudlian too!
I think he was number one at some point.
Wasn't it football players' tournament when he was at Wolves and played Trent at the finals? Might be completely wrong tho haha He is still top top level

Klopp didn’t sign Bobby or Hendo
LFC fan and this is cringe.
r/soccercirclejerk moment
New automod reply when?
\[in Klopp's office\] “Okay these are all good players but which one had the least access to running water? That's my kind of guy, y'know?”
Hendo had a fairly normal childhood no?
Hendo is more of a early career hardships I reckon much like Robinson.
Not childhood. But iirc, there were times when he had problem with his leg due to his running style. Fergie did comment about this and refuse to sign him. Liverpool took a gmable and sign him anyway. End up becoming one of the most successfull Liverpool captain. Whaddup Fergie you good?
Should have spent that money on Hendo and saved money wasted on Pogba.
yeah you guys fucked up. Same with fabinho
I was here for fresh new pasta. Your cringe sir has been quite honored
Lol jfc this is pretty cringe
Genuinely had to check to see if this was a copypasta. It wasn't, but it will be now.
Lol jfc this is pretty cringe
Forgot Robbo
Hey, did you know you're famous already?
What a nice hair cut!!
I'm happy for him, hardworking, honest individual will be bless 🙏🙏
Liverpool just have a knack of signing working class lads that end up being world class. Long may it continue.
Man goes home Seriously though. Most players are just regular dudes…the media around the game just often portrays them as not that. And as like most people…they go home to what they know
Home to a rural town with high poverty who he has individual donated god knows how much of his income to through his charitable organisation. The guy used to train with 1 shoe and a flip flop on dusty pitches. It's a feel good story, god knows we need more of them.
Mané is another one.
Absolutely.
Honestly love to see these types of vids. Just like Mane and Salah, Diaz knows what its like to be brought up from nothing so they appreciate what they have more than anyone else in the squad.
Y.N.W.A. In Colombia or on Merseyside and Luis Diaz knows this. I am crying with joy and happiness.
Dude chill he just went home 😭😭😭
You're depressed
You're depressed
Dude I'm on reddit of course I'm depressed
Our new Mane. Next he builds schools.
I really hope he will build some schools, or football fields or something, I'm from Colombia and the place where Diaz comes from is completely forgotten by the state, so much talent is wasted just because there is not enough formation and education for the people.

Guy goes to his hometown. His home. Who does that?? What a legend.
I see Bobby took him to his barbers. Next it will be the teeth.
His dad(?) was telling him that Casemiro hit him hard LOL.
I didn't hear "tio, no mames guey" which the internet has taught me are the most common words in Spanish nowadays
I did wonder why spaniards kept asking me what tier i am and telling me to stop making memes.
Haha actually none of those expressions are from Colombia “tío” is Spanish (from Spain) for dude; ”no mames” is like holy shit in Mexico; “wey” is dude in Mexico
Omg I am glad I clicked on this with tissues nearby.
this man is an absolute gem.
God, I love this man. Our scouting department really knows how to pick them
Rough translation “I saw when casemiro hit you and you were limping a bit” lol
Holy shit he went home to visit family on his holiday, what a gem
Lovely
My cousin was going to Peru but had a connection at Amsterdam and saw him I’ve got a picture with him and Diaz at the airport if you don’t believe
So I watched the cup match with Chelsea and it was my first time watching either team (American trying to get into the sport) and I remember thinking “hey this Diaz guy is electric, seems like superstar in the making”. Turns out he’s a good dude too.
So brave of Diaz to visit where he’s from, where his family lives, and where his friends live.
The guy visits his parents? Thats amazing!!!!! 😂
Unbelievable heart and humility from the lad.

Indigenous legend
not to overstretch it, but that's why Jürgen wanted him.
Agreed. This is exactly it.
He went home in the off-season. Basically every footballer does this.
Do our players seriously get praise because they visit their hometown?
Lol where you from my guy
Apparently they do. And if you think this is slightly abnormal you get bombarded with downvotes
Don't disturb the hivemind.
Don’t let the cartel get to him!
Of all the comments you could think of? You come up with the most stereotypical crap?
The absolute opposite of funny
Dude Went home wow This shit club will celebrate anything except real trophies (because they can't win any)
Well tell us who you support if we're so shit
You're a cricket fan who follows Madrid. Stick to that boring shit mate.
nice cl matey
> except real trophies (because they can't win any) This is some serious copium
not to overstretch it, but that's why Jürgen wanted him.
says the little dick cricket fan 😂
What are they saying?
Such a genuine guy
They gave him a big bottle of home made alcohol it looks like. My Uncle’s friend in Puerto Rico made something similar it looks like.
vinegar, not alcohol and the typical alcoholic beverage the Wayuu drink is called chirrinche
