Luis Diaz has silenced critics with ease
After scoring only one goal in seven games across all competitions, eyebrows were raised around Luis Diaz’s form. There were concerns that it could be a second-season syndrome, where he is struggling to keep up with the incredible levels he showed last season.
However, it looks like a matter of getting adequate rest for Diaz to get back to his best. After playing non-stop for the last 12 months, Diaz got a chance to rest and recover during the international break. The 29-year-old opted out of games for Colombia after having a fruitful discussion with the national team head coach.
The impact of getting rest was visible in Diaz’s performance against Augsburg and Viking. He got on the scoresheet against the Norwegian side. His performance against RB Leipzig has ensured that his critics are completely silenced.
The Colombian was relentless throughout the game. He scored three great goals and set up one goal for Aleksandar Pavlovic. Diaz created three chances in the game. The 29-year-old’s three goals showed his ability to stretch defenses and the variety of finishes he has in his locker. The Bavarian faithful will be pleased to see Diaz back to scoring for fun.
