Luis Díaz had a high -impact debut with Bayern Munich in the friendly against Lyon that was played this Saturday in Germany, making it clear, since he entered the second half, why the Bavarian club opted for him as one of his great figures for the season.
The Colombian, star signing of the Bundesliga, was the great agitator for the left wing and his energy gave another rhythm to the attack of the Vincent Kompany team.
Only five minutes passed on the court so that Lucho would cause a penalty, after being demolished in the area when he sought to connect a center. That action unlocked a match that until then was stuck and allowed Michael Olise to open the score from eleven meters.
Good debut, but it lacked forcefulness: the balance for Luis Díaz
Although the debut was very positive in the collective, at the individual level Luis Díaz stayed with the goal of the goal.
The Guajiro end had up to three clear hand in hand, but the lack of forcefulness and the good performance of the goalkeeper of the French team prevented him from celebrating his first goal as a Bayern player.
Even about the 87th minute, when the Allianz Arena chanted his name, he had another very clear occasion, but once again the rival goalkeeper chicked perfectly. Díaz tried in all forms: overflow, diagonal, cross shot, but the goal was denied.
Luis Díaz generates expectation in Germany
Guajiro's debut occurred in the midst of the expectation generated by his recent signing, one of the most expensive in the history of Bayern Munich and Colombian football.
The German club disbursed 75 million euros to get its services, making it the third Colombian to wear the Bavarian shirt, after Adolfo “El Train” Valencia and James Rodríguez. The transfer was one of the stellar operations of the market, placing it as the third most expensive Colombian player of all time, only behind Jhon Jáder Durán and James himself, when he arrived in Real Madrid.
Beyond the failed goals, Díaz's performance left very positive sensations. His presence opened spaces for companions such as Olise and Gnabry, and his insistence on the left wing was key for Bayern to recover the depth and amplitude he did not have in the first half.
The official club account soon highlighted its performance on social networks with a simple and forceful “What Bacano!”, In reference to the immediate impact of the Colombian, which did not need much time to win the fans.
This party was the beginning of a stage that promises to be vibrant for Luis Díaz in Germany. After his departure from Liverpool, where he was not recognized with a contract at the height of his prominence, the Guajiro begins a new cycle in one of the largest clubs in Europe, willing to demonstrate that his signing is not only a matter of figures, but of football.
If you maintain the level of this first game and refine the aim, it is a matter of time for the Allianz Arena to core its name on each day of Bundesliga and Champions.
