LIVERPOOL
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has admitted that Luis Diaz is producing “miracles” at Liverpool, with the Reds seeing a £50 million ($66m) investment during the January transfer window deliver immediate returns.
“You don’t expect miracles immediately from these kind of players. But he is not far away from doing exactly that. Long may it continue.” Klopp told Sky Sports.
The German added on the reasons for Liverpool making their move in the middle of the 2021-22 campaign: “Every coach would say the same about a January signing. You do it, but if you could, you would do it in the summer.
“There is a reason why you sign a player. The reason is the quality that he has. The reason is the way that he is playing the game.
“With Luis, where it has been really special is that when we saw him we knew that he would fit in immediately.
“That is really difficult usually but because he did not have to change, that is why we have a really confident boy here.
“He was in a really good moment with Porto, playing good for Colombia, and so he came here full of confidence. But what we tried to make sure is that he does not lose that because of the playbook as we tell him that he has to do this and he has to do that.
“We want him to be natural.”
