Luis Díaz arrived at Liverpool in February of this year with the intention of becoming one of the best footballers in Europe and he succeeded. The Colombian was a key player for Jurgen Klopp's team, formed a great attacking trio with Sadio Mané and Mohamed Salah, even reaching the final of the Champions League, and hopes that his stay with the team will continue to be good in 2022/2023.
Darwin Núñez is the recent addition to the 'Reds' for this new season. The Uruguayan comes from Benfica and will have the tough task of replacing Sadio Mané, who decided to seek new challenges and signed with Bayern Munich.
Diogo Jota, Liverpool's star, spoke to 'O Jogo' and explained that whoever will be his competition to be the '9' of the red team must have a quick adaptation. He made it clear that he hopes it's like Luis Diaz's, who earned a spot quickly.
“Losing Sadio Mané is a big loss. Not only as a player, but as a person and influence in the dressing room. Darwin is still very young, we know his quality, and I also hope he can improve results in his first season, I hope it's similar to the case of Luis Díaz because that way we will be closer to winning titles," said Jota.
The forward was in Portugal inaugurating one of his football academies and said that the intention is to continue fighting for titles with Liverpool and, to achieve this, it will be necessary for everyone to be in good form, including Darwin.
Díaz has been in Liverpool for five months, in which he has played 26 games, scored 6 goals, provided 5 assists, and won two titles. He started by coming off the bench to change games and then became a regular starter. He was in the starting lineup in the final against Real Madrid for the Champions League.
