The Colombian end Luis Díaz, just signed by Bayern Munich from Liverpool, declared himself “very happy” in his presentation with the Bavarian club this Thursday.
“Very happy, very happy to be here, in Munich, a team as big and historical as Bayern,” said the 28 -year -old at a press conference.
“My first impressions have been very good, the little I have shared with the players and the coaching staff has been very pleased,” he said about his first hours in Bayern, in force champion of the Bundesliga.
When asked about the objective that has been marked in this new stage of his career, after having kneaded titles in Portugal with Porto and in England with Liverpool, the Colombian did not hide his ambition.
“I chose Bayern because my goals, my goals to meet are still great. My expectations are very large, obviously I wanted to choose a big team, a big club. I come to a club with a lot of history to compete to win everything possible,” said Díaz, who insisted that another goal is to acclimatize as soon as possible.
“I come to demonstrate”
After its signing, which according to the English and German press would have closed for 75 million euros (88 million dollars), it became the third most expensive signing of Bayern, although its price does not seem to be a pressure reason.
“Obviously I know the player I am, what I am in every club I am going to, I know what I am playing every year, I have grown football.
In Munich he will become the third Colombian to wear Bayern's colors, after 'the train' Adolfo Valencia and, more recently James Rodríguez, with whom Diaz said he has not yet talked about his transfer. “I have not spoken much with him. We will write and see what you can recommend about the city and the team. But I have not yet had the opportunity to talk to him.”
In the face of his lace in the Bayern system, Díaz, who can play on the left wing or in the center of the attack, revealed that he has already talked to his new coach Vincent Kompany about his position.
“He told me that the preference is to play on the left side. Where I have to play, I will be available to the coach and the team but the priority is the band.”
For his part, the scorer and team leader, Harry Kane, showed him affection and admiration: “I really want to play with him. He is a fantastic player and demonstrated his quality in the Premier League; it is very dangerous with the ball. In Bayern we will do everything possible to adapt in the best way and have a good start”
