Luis Diaz looked closer to his best
The international break gave Luis Diaz time to recuperate after a gruelling 12 months of football for club and country. The Colombian played non-stop football for club and country. The fatigue certainly impacted his start to the new season with Bayern. After reaching an agreement with the Colombian football association, Diaz decided to opt out of the four games during the international break.
Resting for three weeks has certainly worked for the former Liverpool forward. He looked closer to his best against Augsburg. The 29-year-old created 5 chances, which was the highest by a player on the pitch.
He was accurate with his passes, boasting a pass completion rate of 92%. Diaz continued to work tirelessly out of possession. The Colombian was unfortunate to have an acrobatic goal chalked off early in the second half due to offside. He also created the big chance late in the game for Serge Gnabry. Unfortunately, the German forward struck the woodwork instead of bundling the ball into the net.
Diaz was not on the scoresheet against Augsburg, but his performance was very encouraging. In no time, he will be back amongst goals and assists.
